Default Bichon doesn't wanna walk away from us.

Hi!

As mentioned in my introduction thread, we bought a bichon for my girlfriend which is her mother's too.

It's 4 months old and we took it for, which was probably, its 1st walk.
We had it on leash but it keeps walking between our legs, we have to shoot out our arm to keep it away from us to avoid stepping on it.
We never had dogs before.

Any ideas on how to educate it?

Puppies have to learn how to walk on a leash, but if it was the first walk out ever, the dog just may be a little nervous in the new surroundings. The best thing is to try to socialize the dog by taking it everywhere you can, and introducing it to new people, sounds and smells. Start by carrying the dog around, so it feels secure. Eventually, due to the age, the dog will become curious, and then will want to venture out. But it takes time. Be patient, I know it is your first dog, but pretty soon, you'll be an expert on your dog. Good luck!

since your pet is still a puppy it will gradually pick up how to walk right. Just be consistent in what you are doing so your dog knows what he and cant do while walking. Dont forget to praise and give him a treat whenever he's doing a good job... and you surely need a lot of patience...

You need to socialize you puppy, let him socialize with other people and other dogs around. Bring him to dog park so he will be able to see how other dogs enjoy playing around with their owner. Hope soon he will be out of his shell!
