Does anyone else have a lazy dog? I'm planning on entering the local Humane Shelter walk on Oct 11 and thought I'd get Gucci "trained". We started just walking down the driveway a few times each time we went out to potty. This week I thought I'd get him started on a little longer walk. He's fine for about 4 houses and then decides he doesn't want to go any further. I know he's not tired, just headstrong. He'll continue, but not happily. Of course, once we turn around to return to the house, he's the leader of the pack. He's so afraid of loud noises and even the sound of a car approaching makes him nervous. Is there anyway I can help him overcome that fear? (Thunder doesn't bother him at all, but the vacuum or lawnmower put him over the edge.) |
