Question
My dog is a female bichon frisé. When inside she follow me everywhere, however when I walk with her in the forest she's always very far behind me, smelling this and that.
She usually waits till I'm so far away that she can't see anymore, and then she comes. This is quite annoying as I like to move at a good pace and not wait for her to smell stuff forever.
How can I get her to move a bit faster and follow me more closely?
Answer
Here I am sharing a general thing what I see in dogs.
Your dog follows you inside because the dog is not distracted by unfamiliar smell, but outside, there is the whole bunch of different smells, because dogs recognize people and other stuff on the based of their smalls, that's why they are curious to know to whom this smell belongs to.
Another nature of the dogs is to put run after moving things (which they find suspicious).
NOTE: The nature of the dogs may vary depending upon the location and the breed.
