We just adopted our greyhound about a week ago and he was walking okay but then started to freeze randomly in certain areas. We realized from his ears being flat, head low, and tail tucked that he was very anxious and fearful. To give him more confidence in his new environment, we started letting him chose where we went on our walks. We luckily live in a large neighborhood where we have many directions to choose. And it really helped him start feeling more confident and the ears and tail have slowly started coming up. Keeping in mind safety and reason of course - there are times when we say no chose another way. And also maintaining leash manners - still no pulling on the leash. Other than that he gets to pick left or right, trail or neighborhood. We haven't had many freezes since, and when he does we listen and let him take the time he needs.
