Well we did it!!!
First walk in our clos wasnt too bad, he wasnt overly keen on the lead and often refused to move. When we got to the end he absolutely refused to go onto the road, we think it was because of the cars and he stood there shaking like a leaf clearly terrified - although only about 3 cars went past.
So then we changed tack.......
We cuddled him up, grabbed a towel and headed out for the beach .......

At first not to keen, especially as we met a scary pushchair but mummy picked him up and carried him down the slipway, and then we were away! As soon as we in an open space off came the lead and he loved it. He chased our daughter round the beach but always came back to mummy and followed mummy everywhere just behind close to her right heel - even into the sea

Postwalk cuddles for a good boy

So cute! I'm sure he'll soon be much braver on the road. But the beach is much more fun!

Ah, what lovely photos. Charlie is gorgeous. He's the same colour as Bo. He's a lucky boy living close to the beach.

What a lovely first walk. Millie just loves walking on the beach too.

Fabulous first walk - we have exactly the same with Dexter - he lays down at the bottom of our road & refuses !! I tend to pick him up and carry him further from home & this weekend he seemed to be ok with that.

Must get to the beach this week & get some visits in before 'no dog' season kicks in ! We are only 15 minute drive from one which is fabulous

Lovely photos, your puppy is gorgeous and very lucky to live near the sea.If he is anything like Eddie he will be in the water all the time, unfortunately for us its the smelly river that ours is always in.On the subject of traffic I would say its a good thing to have your dog wary of cars, Eddie seems completely oblivious to cars, lorries anything with a motor and I am terrified that if he gets loose he will be under the wheels of a car.
