Sonny finally is fully vaccinated and can go for walks. Yay!!! Sonny has experience being on his leash. We have practiced with him during puppy class, around the house and in the backyard. He has always done well. We went on his first walk on Friday around our neighborhood and he did great. He was excited and smelling everything and didn't seem frightened by being in a new environment or by any of the people, bikers, cars, dogs , ect passing by. ( I have tried to have him in our front yard a lot while he was little to get him used to dogs, people and cars passing by) However, I tried to take him for a walk yesterday assuming that he would do well like he did the first time, but after about 5 minutes he started jumping up on me repeatedly. I tried to keep him walking, but he wouldn't stop jumping and I was afraid he was going to land funny and get hurt, so I picked him up and carried him the rest of the way home. I tried a couple of times as we walked home to put him back down, but he did the same thing and kept jumping up over and over. I'm a little stumped by the behavior because he did so well on his first walk.icon_nwunsure
My plan is to take him out today on his leash and let him guide me and decide if we leave the front yard or not . I'm assuming he is just getting used to this new activity and that it will take time just like everything else.
Anyways I was just wondering if anyone else has had this kind of experience with their puppy when they first started going on walks.
