Hi! My new puppy is about 4 months old. When we’re walking on a leash, he consistently parks himself on the sidewalk and redirects so that he’s facing our home. We can get about two blocks away, then he parks!
He seems afraid to get too far from home? Do you have any tips for increasing the positive associations with walking?
Not sure if it’s relevant, but he’s a mixed breed pup, pretty large, and super smart – he’s very quick to learn, so this “parking” behavior is kinda throwing me. I would have thought he would be naturally rewarded by all the smells/fun of being out of the house.
So grateful for any advice!
