He does great keep up the entire 3 miles. Here's the probelm.. when people/dogs/bikes/ go by he flips out and becomes absolutely insane!!! He barks snarls growls. He looks like a rabid wolferine on the end of a leash. COMPLETELY out of control!!! I am really worried about my little man. He is totally normal and loving when we aren't walking. Another thing he does on our walks is lift his leg at least 20 times to mark/pee. Anyone have any suggestions. I am afraid he is going to bite someone or get ate by a big dog. I made the mistake of trying to pick him up during one of these fits and he actually bit me.

I read somewhere (on YT???) that such a long walk could contribute to a hypoglycemic attack maybe his blood sugars become off ??? a thought though maybe completely off the mark. I know I wouldn't risk mine for such a long walk, they couldn't handle it.
