I have a new golden doodle puppy who is 16 weeks old and he seems to hate walking. For the last 2 weeks since I got him I have a hard time getting him to move once we go outside the front door as he just sits or lays down outside. I tried to start small but he seems to get worse each time. I basically have to lure him with food or pull him to get him to move. I can get him to go maybe 1-2 blocks but it takes forever and then he rushes ahead of me on the way back to get back to the house. He also seems very fearful of anything he sees that moves, especially other dogs.
Has anyone had this problem? I am not sure what to do as I feel like he is getting worse each time I take him out. But he has so much energy not sure what to do with him to get it out if he will not walk.
