How do I stop my dog from stopping on walks?
Hi there,
I have a 14 month old Shepard mix, who over the past few months has gotten progressively more stubborn on walks. We will be cruising, and at certain points refuse to move any further and lay down. We have tried to be patient, and have noticed it's certain areas, but we don't know how to jumpstart her again. If we try and physically move her, she will growl and bite.
We went to the vet and they eliminated any health issues.Any help would be appreciated, currently looking for a trainer in our area now.
Best,
-Wes
Did they do hips xrays? Very important. A shepherd that lays down and growls and bites if asked to keep walking may be suffering from hip dysplasia. Did your vet says that they really did x-rays for dysplasia? Just making sure. I went though the same thing with my shepherd. Good luck.
