Robin, most definitely not walking. “Help! My puppy won’t go for a walk! He goes like three steps and then he stops and sniffs or won’t move, then he bites the leash. What's wrong with my puppy?” The answer is simple...but the problem is more complex. You can explain the mechanics of how to teach loose leash walking any way you like, the real trouble is that the puppy owner and the puppy are often at odds as to what a “walk” means to them, and that disagreement is firmly rooted in evolution.
