My Murphy is just about to turn 8 months old and I do not take him on consistent normal walks because I really do not think he likes them. I have never known a dog not to really enjoy his walks - has any one else had this problem? I would like to take him on a normal walk every morning and evening but when I do he seems to only want to walk about 8 houses down the street and than proceeds to sit on his bum and not move and refuses to go further. I have to turn around towards home and than and only than will he move. I have tried talking to him all the way through the walk and saying good boy – tried bribing him with cookies but nothing seems to get him to go past a certain point. It is not even a quarter of a mile that we walk – this is not long enough to get him used to walking is it? Also when he does walk the short distance he is all over the place - any suggestions on getting him to let me walk him not him walk me?
