Do you live in a very bad place? Why does your dog avoid going there?

That’s an odd take. All of my dogs over the years didn’t like for the walkies to end. As soon as they saw the leash they’d go wild, knowing they’re heading out for a walk. Then as soon as we’d start heading back they would hesitate or, like this person posted, simply refuse to move. Dogs just love walks, and a lot of them would prefer to just walk forever.

Have you ever owned a dog? It's what they do, they never want the walk to end unless it's inclement weather then all of a sudden they're hauling ass to get home.

Mine still wants to walk in bad weather. The only difference is that she'll actually turn down the street to come back home without a fight, but she's still ready to keep going if I let her.

As these folks have said, she just doesn't want the walk to end. She's a scent hound and loves all the smells!
