My almost 6 year old beagle-basset has become extremely reluctant to go on walks. I'm pretty sure this stems from an unfortunate close encounter with illegal beach fireworks a few months ago that left him as stressed as I've ever seen him, but he's only recently started refusing walks - he used to get super excited when he saw the leash. If/when he does go outside he's really sensitive to sharp noises like roofers, distant gunfire (we live relatively close to rural areas so this isn't common but does happen), etc. How should I be handling this? I'm trying not to have to force him outside when he clearly doesn't want to go, but we're out of the house all day so we also kind of need him to use the bathroom in the morning before we leave.
