 we baby them too much!
if you had a 50 lb dog that wouldn't walk you wouldn't be able to just pick him up and carry him! walking your dog is a wonderful time to bond with him -- don't let his stubbornness win out. be persistent -- i learned so much by watching the dog whisperer - cesar milan - it's on the national geographic channel every day at 3pm and new ones on friday nights at 9pm. pull up on the harness when he lays down -- it forces him to stand.
it may take some time but it is the best thing for the pup. |
