Hi everyone I am after some advice.
Yemi has completed her injections now and is able to go outside for walks .............. the only problem is this won't :?
She has never been keen on going out the front (garden) and we have always had to carrier her to the car.
Knowing how she wasn't going to like it much I thought we would start with a little walk just outside the house. I took the clicker with me and loads of treats hoping it might encourage her, no luck :roll: Which is amazing as she is soooo into her food.
She did do a few steps to wards a treat in the front garden then lay down and refused to move. I coaxed her and did drag her a bit to get her to the gate where she met 3 of the neighbours who petted her and gave her a treat when she greeted them. But that was it she didn't even just sit down she lay on the floor as flat as she could get and stayed there.
So what do I do????
I thought it might be a good idea to play with her in the front garden, it is secure, to see if she likes that a bit.
Do I get her a body harness type of lead ????? to make the pulling for me less work.
Do I drag her ???? It seems a bit cruel being as she is obviously frightened (shaking like a leaf)
This is a real dilemma and I could do with some advice please.
