We found Chesney (50# hound mix) at our local shelter about 9 months ago. He is almost 2 years old. When we first brought him home we found him fearful of everything, and guessed he had never lived in a house before. He's gotten over a lot of that, although there are still some things/people/loud noises he's still afraid of. I have spent A LOT of time with Chesney (walking 2 hours each day, feeding, training, car rides). Chesney has grown to love my husband (he had been afraid of him for a couple months, but now sits on his lap!), and our sons. Our problem is that when someone other than me wants to take him outside for a walk or a run in the woods, he'll run to me and jump up, as if he's asking if I'm coming too. When they try to take him outside or in the car he will pull away and sometimes escape his collar to run back inside. As I'm writing this, it sounds like all we need to do is to get everyone to take him for walks more or just as much as I do. Which would be easy to do if my husband didn't work and my boys lived at home! Any suggestions???!!
