I have found the best way to walk a ferret is to approach it from the other
way round. They are walking you! I suddenly realised one day that all I
was saying was "Come on ferts." As soon as I relaxed and realised the walk
was their benefit, it all clicked into place. (Of course with Tally, I
usually walk round and round in circles but it's fun.) As regards sidewalk
walking, they will quite happily run along beside a wall. Hope that helps!
Luv Susan, Tally, Bailey and Fane
