A walk outside seems like a pleasant undertaking, but the dog does not always share this pleasure with its owner.

You will learn from this article why your pet suddenly refuses to go outside, shaking with fear.

Experienced stress

If the dog has experienced stress before, it is unlikely to want to go there again. Perhaps this happened because of an attack by stray animals or because of the loud noise of a firecracker.

To solve the problem, you need to change the walking place. For example, you can go to a neighboring yard or park, where it will be quiet and uncrowded.

Feeling unwell

The reason for the reluctance to go outside may also be poor health. For example, the pet may suffer from back pain or joint pain.

Health problems can be identified by such signs as apathy, lack of appetite, lethargic behavior, and refusal to play.

In this case, it is important to seek help from a doctor. He will examine your pet and prescribe treatment.

Weather

Another reason for refusing to go for a walk may be bad weather. This could be a heavy rain or frost.

To make sure your pet feels comfortable and doesn’t suffer from the cold, you can buy him special clothes.
