[QUOTE="OLF, post: 683875, member: 9761"] Try not to drag him when you walk him. He won't like it and you won't like it. Get on the end of your lead rope and pull, gradually increasing the pressure. As soon as he takes one step forward, release the pressure (don't release the rope). Let him stand for a moment, then pull again until he takes a step, then release the pressure. Continue this and ask him to take two or three steps. When he learns that moving forward will release the pressure, he will be more willing to go, and it will take less and less pressure to get him started. Don't get me wrong, I've used the truck method, it just isn't ideal. Good luck and hang in there, it gets better. :) [/QUOTE]
