    Are you sure its that she doesn't like walks, or that she's not used to walking on a leash??

    Baby steps...for real, lol. My Sandy, yellow lab, at almost 3 months, was scared of walk. Love's backyard to play, but was very skitish about walking. New territory, strange new world, I guess. I had to do it slowly, let her look and get used to new scenary--we started going little further each day.

    Maybe, she feels vurnerable to danger or your tugging her to hard along?

    She will get used to it, it will just take some time. The world's a big, scary place for a wee little puppy girl! And it is winter time, and pretty cold out there for a not-too-fluffy gal, too. She's as cute as can be, give her a kiss for me, okay?

    3 months from now, you'll probably have forgotten all about the time when she didn't like walks!

    She'll get used to it. Kai used to be terrified of walking. I got him used to it by letting him explore the (fenced) yard with a collar and leash dragging. Then I started walking him around the yard (holding the leash) and eventually started walking him around the block.

    Thats what we did for Oscar and Baby.

    When I first got Tikeya, she never wore a leash, she would follow me EVERYWHERE.. ( I'm not passing that on as advise though lol )
