But one of the biggest problems I have is this. You had said to walk him several times a day. But when I take him out, he acts completely freaked out. He's friendly enough with other people and other dogs when they come close to him and try to touch him. He's actually over-friendly with people. But he barks at absolutely everyone and everything and won't stop. It's really humiliating. Because of this, I don't really walk him anymore.
Another problem I have with walking him is, if he doesn't feel like going where I want to take him or if he just doesn't feel like walking for whatever reason, he'll just stop. I tell him to come, I pull on the leash and nothing. Then I'll just have to pick him up and carry him. I even try bribing him with his favourite treat and he won't even look at it as long as we're outside.
I don't know what to do about that. Any suggestions? |
Hey there! Yikers, lol. You are having issues with your little one, eh?
Ok, as far as the walking goes....drag him/her. I know it sounds bad....but they are going for a walk with YOU and YOU are leading the way. If my pup ever just up and lay down or whatever....I don't even turn around...I just keep walkin' along and he/she will have to pick up the pace. It won't take long and the little one will catch on that it is YOUR pace..not his/hers.
