It is not often, but it does happen that dog owners discover that the command “Walk” does not cause joyful excitement in their pet.
The reason, first of all, may be the dog’s illness.
If you have any doubts that your pet is sick, do not delay your visit to the veterinary clinic. Rest assured that as soon as your pet is back to normal, he will happily run for a walk again.
Another reason that justifies a dog's reluctance to go for a walk is the fear and anxiety that the pet experiences.
They, in turn, can arise due to a number of factors, including moving, aggression from other dogs, lack of socialization, noise, dissatisfaction of the owner, who regularly yells at the dog during a walk...
The task of those who find themselves in such a situation is to find out what exactly scares the pet and eliminate the cause of its fears, possibly with the help of a zoopsychologist.
Refusal to go for walks may be due to stress experienced by the pet, but its occurrence is also influenced by many factors.
Try to help your four-legged friend cope with a stressful situation - sometimes all it takes is love and care.
