9 Dogs Who Just Aren’t Having it Today (No Matter What You Say)

For Dog People
By Kiki Kane

Is your dog a couch potato? Born to snooze? Then these lazy dogs and their hilarious refusal to take their daily walk may look awfully familiar to you.

While it can be funny or frustrating when a dog or puppy tries this tactic on a walk, always make sure your dog isn’t overheated and has access to water on longer expeditions. We’ve got some great tips on keeping dogs cool. Depending on what motivates you dog, squeaking a toy, tossing a ball just out of reach, or offering a high-level reward just out of reach may be all you need to get your walk moving again.
