This is Sherlock, our mini dachshund we got from a shelter a little over a year ago. We think he's around 7 years old. He’s made a lot of progress like being housetrained and getting a lot more relaxed in the home when we have visitors. He still has a few large issues, though. One is he hates other dogs. If they are his size if they approach him he gets aggressive and snaps at them; if they are larger than him he will bolt. It's hard to integrate him into being around other dogs when these are his only two reactions. The other is that he makes walking an absolute chore. It’s so strange, when we get the leash he barks and jumps excitedly at the door but when we get out there he doesn’t want to leave eyesight of the house. He becomes very jumpy and we have to tug & prod him every step of the way to get him to go farther than 100 feet from the driveway. This is becoming an issue because he’s gaining weight but it’s hard to exercise him if he doesn’t want to go for walks. Any suggestions?
