Deuce is 11 weeks old, and when you can COAX him to come with you behaves quite well on a walk (aside from a bit of leash biting). BUT, you have to be at least 6 houses away from home - going or coming back - in order for him to behave.
He will fight not to go for a walk, RUNS home at the first opportunity.
I am worried that maybe i was too strict at first with leash training and this is the backlash. No, I did not 'drag' him around or anything like that, but I certainly was strict about keeping him moving with me. I had read some articles about how if he gets ahead just turn around and go the other way and I did those things, but now he would just prefer to stay home thank you very much!
HELP!!!
I have tried walking with him off leash and same things - you have to be away from the house for him to not run back home. I have also tried going a short distance, offering a treat, encouraging, praising and repeat, but apparently he isn't THAT interested in a treat - he sits on the steps and thinking ........ If that treat means i have to go for a walk - no thanks!
Did I mention - HELP???
