@hera_malinois: 34 days ago, Elroy arrived terrified of just about everything. Today he took his very first walk. If you’ve been following his journey, you know this isn’t a story of overnight transformation. Progress for Elroy has been measured in tiny moments, like taking food from a hand or choosing to lie near us. Today’s walk wasn’t perfect, barely a walk, really. But courage doesn’t always look like confidence. Sometimes it looks like taking a few hesitant steps forward❤️@Chicago Rescue Authority
Do you think it would be better or worse to take Lorenzo on a walk and carry Elroy with you so he got used to the routine and new smells before actually walking? Maybe also try some walks together around the yard with Lorenzo so he understands what’s happening?

He is still nervous about how big the world is, but he doesn't even know how big he is to so many people who are watching him grow. Stay strong sweet boy

my suggestion...you could try walking him around in a wagon. let him experience the smells and sound but feel safe as well.

A stroller, maybe? To Let him outside while being in a safe enclosed place.

My heart breaks 😭 as a beagle owner and see how much she loves her walks I hope he gets to the stage where he loves exploring. With the hard work and dedication you are putting in with him he will get there ❤️

This may be a topic for a bit further down the road, but have you considered anxiety meds for brave little Elroy? My extremely fearful shelter pup started on anxiety meds about 3mo ago after having her for 2 years, in those few months she has made LEAPS of progress. It doesn't take away fear, but it gives her a higher threshold before she would shut down from fear, and lets her discover that maybe everything isin't so scary

I really love watching your posts about Elroy. He is so lucky to have you as his kind and patient foster parents and your other dogs showing him the way. I am in Australia and we adopted an ex laboratory beagle called Lester in February and we love him to bits!
