Why does my new puppy sit on walks and hide between my legs?

Question

I got my puppy yesterday and its been eating pooping and peeing but now when we try to take it for a walk it just sits. When we stand next to him while he's sitting he would get up and stand in between our legs. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 2 months and 11 days old

Buddy probably just needs a little time to get used to his new surroundings. Don't try too many different things at once. Let him get comfortable with you and your routine; then you can gradually include him in your activities. I would recommend a good obedience training school, where he can learn to walk on a leash in the company of strange dogs and people. This should build his confidence. If you feel that you are continuing to have problems, you can click on the prompt ro start a consult, where we can discuss it at length. Good luck with your new puppy!
