Hi Charlie,
I had the same problem with Bandi not wanting to go outside. My trainer said that I wasn't being firm enough or confident enough when I said "outside" to Bandi. I too was dragging her outside--my trainer said this is a "no-no!" She says to never drag the dog. Give a firm tug along with the command you use for going outside and just go. She will have to walk to keep up with you. It took me about a week to get Bandi to see things my way, but it worked. She would still rather stay inside, but she goes. Hope this helps.
