I got a new rescue dog who is between 2-3 years old. Sweet and playful in the house and sometimes in the backyard. She is not able to step more than a couple feet outside of my front door. She is very nervous but basically refuses to walk. I'm working on giving her treats to get her excited to go out the door and my other dog stands by as a safety net to help motivate her to move forward as well, but no luck. I'm wondering if just being patient and letting her get more comfortable at her own pace is the only and best option? Or are there other methods that could help in helping her gain confidence quicker to be able to enjoy walking time.

My challenge is I have one dog who will not take treats when outside of the house. She is way more interested in the world than any treat I can offer her. I have worked with trainers where I can now get her to heel mostly (still with a lot of patient correction and with a high neck collar to correct) but her challenges have been whenever there is a distraction of any animal she will pull and whine and do whatever is necessary to try and get into that direction. I will correct her or go the other way, but there is no option for me to do treats, and trying to ignore the behavior doesnt work that well. What are the best options when a dog is not treat motivated to correct a behavior? I do praise her for doing things well, but usually as soon as I praise her she thinks thats the sign to be able to go back to doing what she was doing poorly.
