Hi, can anyone tell me if this is in any way normal.
Our puppy whimpers and scrabbles up the back of our legs for the entirety of her short walks. I don't know if she is over excited or terrified or what. It certainly is not a fun walk for us.
She has been going out for walks for a week now. She is a bit over 12 weeks. A miniature poodle.
Prior to her last vaccination we went for short walks with her in our arms and she used to scrabble and whimper, but I thought she was very excited and would be glad to be on the ground. Not the case.
We have just been on today's short walk. It was about 5/10 minutes then a big sit down on a bench. Then back again. She was jumping up and up and up, whimpering and not happy-seeming, then when we sat down she was desperate to sit on our knees.
Is it something I have done wrong/am doing wrong? Is it normal and just a case of time. Or should I speak to a behaviourist who can set me on the right track?
Thanks!
