Bruce, my 10 week old boxer, absolutely refuses to walk on a leash. At first, he had a normal nylon collar and would pull and pull against the leash ... to the point of choking himself. I went and purchased a gentle leader and initially I thought this would work, but he started pulling on it. At some point, he must have realized that he was getting nowhere fast, so now he just sits down and doesn't move. I've tried coaxing him with treats, tugging gently on the leash, praise .. you name it I've tried it, but to no avail. He literally just sits there and does nothing. Now if I lay the leash down, he gets up and walks around, uses the restroom and plays, but when I pick it up, he sits and we stare at each other.
How can I get this dog to walk on a leash?
