Anyone able to reason with a dog?
Our wheaten has refused to go for walks in our neighbourhood for a month now after encountering a group of kids playing with cap guns.
She'll go for car rides and play with her peers at the off-leash park.
Finally, my son had her stay in the driveway while she watched him go for a walk without her.
A day later, he tried to walk her in a different part of the neighbourhood - and much to our delight she went willingly.
Hope this sticks, because owning a dog who won't go on walks means we're missing out on half the joy of pet ownership.
