My dog is one and half year old I got him pretty late I love him and want what’s best for him. I have tried EVERYTHING in my book to get him to like going outside. I got him when he was already 4 and half months. I don’t know his previous life I manage to be patient and at first he wouldn’t even like leaving the apartment just walking outside would make him want to rush inside. After months and MONTHS! If it I finally manage to have him enjoy going around the apartment but it feels like there’s no progress anymore. I know i can’t pressure him to walk further away cause it’ll create even more negativity with it but I am so lost and disheartened I have no idea what to do anymore. It’s Been MONTHS! And months and he refuses to go anything past around our apartments. And even then he’s super skittish, I’ve been wanting to socialize him more but when there’s dogs nearby he jumps and tries to run away. And I keep trying to give him treats to walk further but nothing works. He only walks to the treat and wants to run back home again. He’s still a puppy and I try to play with him a lot but I really want him to enjoy the outdoors. Playing inside can be a. Hassle and he obviously has high energy and I want him to enjoy being outside so that energy can be dispersed. Please if anyone has any tips or ideas anything I’ve tried all the tricks the ideas but maybe there’s something. Again he only walks around the apartment anything pass it he 10000% refuses to move. I want to take him to dog parks and dog meets but he doesn’t even enjoy going into the car let alone a near park or area. He’s completely hard stuck on being home no matter what and I feel horrible trying to force jim into the car or into a park cause I feel like it’ll just create more anxiety and fear of the outdoors
