hey everyone

new user, i have the same problem as turbo digger accept as soon as i hook her up to the leash inside thats it she wont move. i usually pick her up bring her to the grass then sometimes just sometimes she will walk but she never walks back to the house i always have to go get her. i have tried the walkin around the house with a leash on with no luck. and i read all the other suggestions also and had no luck. she is 4 months old, is it possible she is just to young?????

Carry some small treats with you (like small bits of cooked white meat chicken) when she is on leash, and use them to lure her forward a few steps at a time. Avoid tension on the leash if possible and use a command such as "let's go" in a soft happy voice. If she only gets the treats when on leash, she should start to associate the leash with something good. Gradually increase what she needs to do to get the treat (five steps forward instead of two,etc.) until she will walk with you comfortably. Gradually fade out the treats and substitute praise for walking on a loose leash. Hope this helps!
