Hello, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this, only started this week, my 1 year old cockapoo is tugging on me trousers when on walks, not every walk, just seems to be in the mornings.. i thought it was she wanted the ball, but that doesn't stop her now. Its not all walk, but part of it, its so frustrating, she has her little dog friends shes playing with, but will she come over and tug me legs. Never done it before, and I'm at a loss on why now and how to stop it.
Any help / ideas appreciated
Cheers

It sounds like she is trying to play with you and has discovered a game which is fun for her - although not you. Maybe a tuggy toy to take with you on walks so she has a way of playing with you would work for her?

Hello, thanks for the reply. I will give that a go, its very odd as she has loads of friends with her, i did notice that when 2 of them were put on leads, she came straight to me and tugged my leg.. maybe a co-incidence, i dont know. I have started just standing still when she does it and she seems to give in. Will bring a toy and try your way. Thanks again

LOL, Piper still does that when I walk in the house sometimes and she is 9 years old.
