Hello everyone 
I´m not a first time dog owner at all,infact,over the years I have owned a few dogs of my favorite breed (yorkshire terrier).After my last yorkie girl died last year at the age of 9,we (my husband and I) didnt think we´d have any more,but here we are,a year later with two 14 week old yorkie pups named Milo & Bella
They´re sibblings from the same litter and we´re head over heels in love.
There have been many bumps in the road over the years,and we considered ourselfs very educated on all that could happen,but we now have an issue that we have never had to deal with before and I have no idea how to fix it.
Milo & Bella have been brought up in the exact same way,infact,they lived up to their "twin" reputation by being extremely alike in everything they did,right up until we got the OK to take them outside after their shots were completed 2 weeks ago.
Milo LOVES being outside,he has a ball! He rns,he jumps,he says "hello" to everyone we pass...But we cant get Bella to walk AT ALL.She acts stressed,upset (she cries the whole time) she lays down like a carpet (pushing her whole body to the floor) and refuses to move etc.
We have no idea what to do or how to address her fear of being outside.She wants NOTHING to do with it,infact,even when we pick her up just to allow Milo to walk,she´ll turn her head to our body and refuse to even look outwards :doh:
We´ve tried treats,calling her etc etc,nothing is working and it´s making us worry,because she´s losing out on fresh air,walking,runnig etc-everything any dog should love!
Sorry this was so long..but can anyone help? :wave:
