    Mini dachshund not walking on a leash
    My mini dachshund stops all the time when we are on a walk. She is 3 months old and is stubborn to get started walking. I feel like I have to pull her to get her started. Any suggestions.

    She's still only a puppy, the important thing is to remember not to get frustrated or angry with her.

    Just keep trying, encourage her to walk by holding a treat in front of her when she stops instead of pulling on the lead.
