Walks
Patience...
For a dog that's walked as much as Piper (twice a day, every day, 1-2 miles, since she was a puppy), she's not that well-trained at it.
She's strong-willed and prefers to stay home and guard.
Her instinct is to always stay on home turf. If multiple people are walking her it's much easier, since she follows to oversee the pack.
Pick her up and carry her at will, in a block or two she'll be less glued to home base. Stopping to sniff is okay, stopping to look behind (which she'll do for minutes) is not. If she's far behind and dragging, steps back to her or even behind her can "jog" her loose. Carrying her across intersections helps.
Once a couple corners are turned, she sense that the return trip is happening, and might even want to jog back.
