Thanks Joan, I bet you are right. Since it has been cold she has not been outside a lot and is only allowed on the lawn so she is probably also confused as why does she now get to walk on the sidewalk. nan

He would run around the house with it on, but as soon as I put him on the sidewalk…STOP. He would take a couple steps and then stop. So, I was walking and Dolly was walking and as long as I kept going slowly ahead he would follow. After while he did start walking in front. I think that when they stand on the sidewalk and look ahead it may be kind of scary…in the house they see a wall, but on the sidewalk nothing…and maybe that scares them.

I let Abbey go in front, I have dangled treats in front of her. I have been working and working with her and she is so stubborn (but I love that about her too). She learns every thing else so easy so what am I doing wrong - please help me!!!!! I feel like I have never owned! a dog before!
