my puppy refused to go for a walk 2day ?

so i tryed to walk my puppy jake 2day after work he was all excited to see his lead and harness and we made it about half way down the road before he put his paw down and decided he wasnt moving ? so i give him a fuss and a treat and we made it to the end of the road and then same problem again so i gave up turned round and started to walk bk home which he was very happy about

just need a bit of advice please

should i of continued the walk / or let him get his own way an take him home ?

yh sorry about that iv just updated it hes 11 weeks all jabs done and chipped this was not his first walk this was his third time out both other times he loved it but 2day i had a very unhappy puppy

A little encouragement is advised , I had a mare getting Tilly walking and it was more like walk, fuss , treat , drag in a never ending circle, fortunate for Tommy as he just followed big sis everywhere without any trouble.
One of our members had another solution for an awkward walker which was to carry them away from home and then get them to walk back.
What's he like on a lead in the garden , did you get him used to things like this first ??

PS thanks for the note about the post , I thought I was going mad when I went back and checked your profile and it said 11 weeks

Anywhere different for your walk , busier time of the day , more road noise etc ???

lol yh thats my bad with the profile sorry. i had him wearing his harness since about 9 weeks old once a day for about half hour, walked him round the house an garden, hes very gd on a lead no pulling or jumping around like a toon the first time i took him out was with my other staff tyler who is 7 but he doesn't live with me he lives with my mum so walking them is not always possible but i know would help

Definitely nip this in the bud, or you will have a real problem later on.

jakes walks are at 5:30 i live in a sea side town and this time of year is very busy and noise i tryed the same walk 2day as yesterday just to the beach about 100 yards from my house he seemed really happy yesterday

i finish work at 5:00pm and have my son to put to bed for 6:30pm time frame for walkies is small lol

Think a little more forceful encouragement required , 100yds from the beach , he's a lucky boy, perseverance is the key. If you could work out how to walk them both together more would make life a lot easier for you though to get him started

Yh we have a dog frendly beach after 5:00pm but 2 streets over we have a lake which is a mile piont to point walking him with Tyler should do the trick I think thay get on really well

Just remember your limits for him as well , around 15 mins a time at his age, you can extend this a little if he has some off lead time. I have a long training lead for Tommy which I sometimes use when its busy so he is still "off lead"

His first walk was all the way round the lake but we had two stops where the picnic spot are he really like it but it was to much for him as he slept for most of the day and all night after it so his walks now are just to the top of the road for a play on the beach. 2 day may have been to much for him mite still be tried from the 2days before

Thank for all the help guys will give a little update 2moro after his walk with Tyler

maybe some pictures as well

much happyer on 2days walk

ahh hes gorgeous
