Help! My husky refuses to go on walks.?

Make your walks a positive experience. Using a collar that fits him, get him used to the lead and collar, by walking him indoors and around your garden. When he moves a few steps, give him a treat or praise, and if he gets frightened distract him with a treat. However, do not praise and cuddle him if he is scared or refuses to move; this will only encourage him to act like he is now, so be firm but also encouraging, and he will soon grow to love walks. Poor soul, he obviously had a negative experience.
