	My bullmastiff (Maddy) has been a "normal" puppy since we got her at 2 months. She just turned 1 yr old on May 1st. In the last 2 weeks, Maddy will still go outside to do her business, but she will not walk more than 1 house away or so. She pulls as hard as she can and will even cry. Prior to 2 weeks ago she would walk normally and go around the block and such. She is still ok to go to the dog park or to other areas when we drive, but she will not walk away from our home. There has been no "reason" for this behavior like another dog attacking or construction noises or anything. Any suggestions? Starting to get worried that she has not gone back to normal for 2 weeks now.
