Hi, I am new to the world of Cavaliers as we have only had our boy for just on 8weeks. Flynn is 5yrs and was a rescue dog so we dont know his whole history. When we get the lead out to take him for a walk he yaps constantly and pulls on the lead until we are walking at a fast pace. When we stop or slow down he starts up again. Not sure if it is excitement or what it is. It is making it difficult to take him for a walk especially if we stop to talk to someone. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cavalier "thing" or a Flynn "thing". He did do this with his previous owner but she just kept walking non stop until they got home. We would love to be able to take him out more with us. Any advice would be appreciated. Julz
