I posted something about this the other day, but not on here where I should have. I started keeping a leash on Sawyer, attached to a vest the other day. He always ran from me so I couldn't put him in his playpen. I tried treats, toys, you name it. Now he just sits when I go to get him, I guess he figured out I could get him anyway. He has been barking to let me know he wants out to potty, YEAH!! He is the love of my life; but a little hard head. Everything is so much easier now, I am the Alpha for sure.LOL. I take the leash off at night when he is in his crate, and he seems happy, and not bothered by it at all.
