Hi all,
I'm really hoping somebody can offer advice or insight into this problem. It just started today, after six months of having my beautiful ex-racing boy. Ever since I got him, my boy has absolutely loved going to the park, and gets walked there as often as possible - sometimes five or six times a day. Today he refuses point blank to go in the gate, will stand statue still, cross his legs if you give a gentle tug on the lead, refuses to take treats and is unresponsive to being called. He'll walk around the streets, but seems very agitated, as if he's either looking for something or thinks he's being followed. It's such an abrupt change in him and his character; indoors, he seems just fine. He seemed happy enough walking in the park yesterday; he greeted several dogs without any encouragement needed, responded just fine to being called, and seemed quite energetic. It's very upsetting to see him act so anxious. Thanks in advance.
