michael,
I am still working on the walking issue with Cody - he has got to be the most
stubborn thing when it comes to walking. Practically all dogs in my neighborhood are out in front of their owner "pulling them" somewhat, but not
my Cody, it is like having a 20 pound bowling ball to pull from behind me.
I have tried the jogging and today he ran with me for about 2 minutes and then he just stopped - layed down and would not budge until I nudged his
behind. We walked for about 3/4 mile and in that time, he layed down 4 times
and stopped at least 10. I think he is trying to bribe me for a treat in order
for him to get moving - this dog is not dumb, but these outings with him are
not the most fun thing for me; I don't let him feel my frustration; I will always encourage him to "walk" or say "lets go" and he goes for a few steps and then STOPs. However, when he sees little kids outside, he is full throttle
ahead -
I have no idea why he dislikes walking so much - I give him opportunities to
smell, etc., but he is definitely trying to be the boss here. UGH
