It would seem that there is no dog that would not run with pleasure down the street.
However, sometimes pet owners are faced with a puppy’s reluctance to leave the house or apartment.
Let's figure out why your pet might behave this way.
Main reasons
Firstly, the dog may feel insecure in an unfamiliar environment. Just give it time until it knows the smell of every bush in the area.
Another reason is fear. Insecurity is often mixed with fear, especially if the street is full of loud noises and unfamiliar people.
The reason may also lie in you. If you have not yet established a trusting relationship with your pet, then it may refuse to go for a walk simply because it does not feel safe around you.
The puppy may also remember the previous walk, where it may have been very tired. Therefore, the animal will not be in the mood for another walk.
And finally, pain may be the reason for refusing to go for a walk. For example, if a dog has injured its paw and it hurts to walk, then, accordingly, it will not want to go for a walk.
