What to do when a small dog refuses to walk on a leash

1. Encourage with food or toys: Since small dogs love freedom and don't like being constrained, they may resist walking with a leash. To encourage them, owners can use their favorite toys and food to attract their attention and slowly guide them forward. It's also a good idea to use a lightweight leash and avoid pulling too hard to avoid hurting the dog.

2. Train the dog: If it's the dog's first time wearing a leash and it refuses to walk, owners can train the dog. At first, let the dog follow you and give it a small treat every time it takes a step. Gradually, you can increase the distance and give a treat after a certain distance. With long-term training, the dog will become accustomed to the leash.

3. Console the dog: If the dog refuses to walk shortly after going outside for the first time, it may be because it's unfamiliar with the environment and feels scared and nervous. In this case, owners should gently stroke the dog and console it until it becomes comfortable with its surroundings. Then, gradually increase the walking distance.
