Puppy doesn't want to leave the yard?
10 weeks old. Not fighting the leash, he just doesn't want to go beyond the lawn. Sits down, whimpers a little. I pull him along a little ways, he repeats the process. Once we get out of sight of our yard, he trots along like any other dog on a walk round the block.
I know we'll get over this apparent "homesickness" -- my question is, can I leverage this behavior to easily train him to not leave the yard in the event of a future escape, and/or come back when called. And if so, how?
We also have a 4 yr old dog who comes along on our walks, the two are best pals.
btw, they're never intentionally off-leash in the front yard.

The pup is smarter than the owner. The risk of contracting parvo is too great even to let a ten-week old pup be in the front yard, where any neighborhood dog could walk through the yard. Wait till he's 14-16 weeks old, at least, before you walk him through the neighborhood.
