doxie being scared on certain walks...
(read)
So, here is the issue...my Murphy will not go any further than the mailboxes at my townhouse complex after dark if it is just one of us walking him. If my husband and I both are there he is fine. If it is just one of us he will pull and cry, and stop dead in his tracks until he gets to go back home.
Yesterday (during daylight), I tried to take him on a walk down a street we always walk down and he started freaking out like I mentioned above. I decided to turn around and go back home and he was practically dragging me the whole way back.
Any ideas on why he is doing this????
Thanks much,
Nicki

Don't know why Murphy got spooked...
Maybe you can try positive reinforcement to coax Murph---like put treats along the way where he doesn't want to go and see if you can get his mind off what's bothering him. Basically, bribe him....at least until his mind decides it's a good thing to go that way. Let us know if this helps.... Good luck!
