I'm posting this for my coworker who's just joined a dog walking site.
She was asked by an elderly woman to walk her 12 year old overweight Beagle, Ruby.
Ruby seems to like my CW, will fall asleep at her feet in the owner's house and likes her petting etc, but once she's outside in her harness and on lead Ruby will just stand still and bark at my CW non-stop until she gets a treat, and even then she will only walk a few steps before stopping and barking at her again.
I've seen a video of it and the dogs ears are up and her tail is wagging as she barks (albeit slowly).
I'm just wondering if there were any 'tricks' to get this dog moving without feeding her treat habit?
Many thanks!
