puppy doesn't like walks

[goshhhhhh]

Oh wise mumsnetters, we took the plunge & got a puppy. (A cockapoo & yes I know - an awful designer dog) He is lovely but we are having an awful time toilet training & today he has decided he doesn't like walks but just wants to be at home. Tried treats when walking etc. Do we just need to persevere?

I had a male Newfoundland puppy that would not go for walks. I was out on the sidewalk trying to coax him along. A Policeman pulled up beside me and he said he had never seen anything so funny. It took him some time to warm up to it but he was soon on the go and as soon as I brought out the leash he was raring to go. It only takes a little time. This is a new concept to him. He will be soon looking forward to those walks.

Nuttynutty, that reads like the Gina Ford of puppy rearing! ;-)
Makes me feel worried abt a new dog already!

Gosh , your puppy looks fab-u-lous. What a cutie, oh those eyes...

Have a merry Christmas. Poos, pees and all xxx
