| what's going on? I have been walking maddie every morning, just around the block, nothing to major. She was loving it, so I was also walking her after I got home from work each day and she would go about 5 blocks. Now all of a sudden she does'nt want to walk at all. She just sits there. Was I walking her too much or is she just stubborn? Also any ideas on how to get her to sit down to have a bath? I finally have her so she will let me brush her, but when I give her a bath she tries to get out the whole time. She is 9 months old. |

| im not sure about the walking as mitzy loves to walk.. but with the bath time i used to have to get in the bathtub with her lol.. i figured out that she didnt like the texture and smoothness of the tub (or sink whichever i used) so i got a tub/sink mat and she does just fine. its easier for her to grip now and doesnt slide all over the place freaking out. she stands nicely for me.. you may want to try that?

| Maybe is the weather, if is to hot or cold, make sure you have the water bottle for her and she has any snack, Phoebe will seat and don't move if she has somenthing in her button legs or butt ones I pull what ever is out, she is back walkig. Maybe she is tired reduce the walk distance and see how that goes |

| Check her pads. Young pups have very soft tender pads, and should only be walked short distances regularly and very gradually work up to a tiny bit further every month or so. Her pads could be bruised. I'd wait for at least a week before walking her again.
