Hello, this is Talking Dogs, the podcast that sees me using my near on 15 years of experience as a dog trainer to give you advice about your dog's behaviour.

It's also an opportunity to catch up with owners whose dogs I've recently worked with.

Now, my name's Graham Hall.

I sounded a bit like Michael Cain there, didn't I?

But I'm sometimes known as the dog father.

And that's because across my career, I've helped over 5,000 dogs

and the people that they've been running ragged. I'll lend

advice wherever I can. In one-to-one sessions, my books, on TV's dogs behaving very badly,

and right here on this podcast. Today I want to talk about dogs that have very strong opinions about their walks.

Now stick around to hear the advice that I give to an owner struggling to get her stubborn

Vimerana back on lead at the end of walks.

But first though, a dog that refuses to go on a walk in the first place.

I met Linda and daughter Lisa for TV's dogs behaving very badly because German

Shepherd Cross Buddy refused to go for a walk with just Mum, Linda. So Lisa had to be there.

And that was an issue because she wanted to move out of Mum's house to get married.

Well, Lisa, Linda, great to catch up with you both. Now, talk us through what going for a walk with Buddy,

or maybe I should say, maybe I should put walking quotation marks really. What did it

used to be like? Hell. He just decided he wouldn't, didn't want to go. And so he just stood

like a frozen statue and I could not move him.

The only time he'd move is when I say, all right, we go on.

And then he'd turn around and come back.

But he just would not go any further without two of us.
