Yes, i have a lot of neighbours with dogs and we were talking about his hard it is for pup socialisation at the moment.
He was a litter of 3 and the breeder owns his parents and she also has a poodle who’d just had a huge litter of 11 and when we went to see him all the dogs, our puppy, his parents and the poodles were there living in the breeders home so he’s well used to other dogs he got in great with them, all the dogs were lovely, very social and friendly. He was never isolated or left in a crate or anything like that, he came from a lovely home and it shows as he’s such a lovely pup. He was fearful of my neighbours big old soppy dog but I think that was a size thing, DH held him for that as we bumped into them on a walk. I’ll have a look into puppy classes - thank you. I had thought about them but just assumed they weren’t on at the mo. I’ll chat to my vets though and see if they have anything around at the min. Thanks guys!

Tilly would refuse to walk as a puppy. We would walk her on the lead at the front of the house with lots of encouragement. (Never done treats) we literally live 2 mins from menses park so we would carry her to the park and then let her walk in the park, then carry her back.
It was slow progress building up her walks but she could walk and walk for hours (slowed down now she is 11/12) Tilly is half Maltese & half Lhasa apso |

Who is chastising the puppy? Well anyone for that matter. Have there been posts deleted?
Getting a new puppy is so so hard and it’s completely normal to worry. I still text my DH to ass ask how the dog is when he gets in...

I’m confused by the chastised comment, certainly not us, our baby has never been told off by us his life. He’s pampered. Think DH prefers him to the kids! 🤣
I was just after a bit of advise on how to get him confident with walking. We live in a beautiful part of the world with gorgeous countryside, amazing doggy community and in a lovely village. He will live a long and very well loved life here. He loves the garden so I’m confident he will love toddling round our village and fields. He’s certainly never been chastised. Maybe posts have been deleted Mitch? 🤔

its totally normal for them to be reluctant walkers at first regardless of how they did before. The area is unfamiliar with lots of new sights & smells and that can be scary but one day he'll get the hang of it you just keep trying lots of coaxing and encouraging - treats can help but you don't want to make them an expectation.
You could try picking a set route which will keep it familiar and help build his confidence. Another thing you could try is carry him for a little bit then put him down to try walking rather than expect him to walk straight away to break the cycle of if I refuse to move they will carry me.# congrats on your new addition He is absolutely gorgeous |
