Hi all!
We recently adopted a 3 year old ex racer, she’s had no history of abuse or trauma and to begin with she was great walking on lead at her new home with us. But the last week or so she’s been really bad for freezing up/statuing to the point of it becoming upsetting (we're talking 15 minutes in the same position). We've tried treats, either following a trail of them or putting them closely to her mouth and then kind of running with it, we've tried toys, turning round in a circle with her, gently pushing her shoulders or from behind but nothing seems to help. It's usually when she has seen something in bushes or shrubs but like I said she wasn't this bad for it when we first got her. If anyone has any advice before we try a dog behaviouralist or trainer it would be much appreciated!
