No guarantees with this breed. I was lucky if I could get Buster out of the driveway! My suggestion is to get a stroller or wagon just in case he decides that's far enough.

Most probably cause you moved n he’s boycotting. You’ll need them 1/4” size treats.

When we want to just take him down the street, he grabs his leash and will not budge. But when we take him to a park he is a happy camper
Amazing how that works, isn't it!

Gunny-Sergent does that most of the time when we go to the same place, but what I found out to help is taking him to new environments to explore (different parks). I know that this can be a hassle, but it allows him to explore new things. I also have a bag of doggy treats to bribe him to walk (lol)..
