My sister just got a four month old puppy. It is a chinook., if it is
even an official breed yet. Anyway she doesn't know much about dogs.
This the first dog she has had as an adult and she is in her 60s now.
She is taking the dog to obedience classes, but she has an on leash
problem. She says the dog will walk with her for a while, but then the
dog lays down and doesn't want to go any farther. I asked her how long
these walks were, she said a couple of miles. I told her I thought the
puppy was probably bored and that she should be taking it for short
walks and making the walks really fun and really rewarding. Am I on the
right track?

Merry, a chinook is a breed of sled dogs from the northeast. Waaaaayyy cool
dogs! Post a pic if you can!

It concerns me slightly that a sled dog doesn't want to GO GO GO. She might
consider a vet visit first.

Merry, normal behaviour.And this is not 'on leash' problem.
The PUPPY is tired or scared of unknowm environment.
Just wait a couple of months in love and patience.

My puppy at 3-4 months refused to leave familiar yard.

It certainly is - they're a somewhat rare sleddog.
Fortunately for her they're probably the mellowest, most
easy-going of the sleddogs. How on earth did she end up
with one?
