I am at my wits end with the walking on the leash thing. I haven’t lost my temper with him, but I do everything…I act like a plain fool on the sidewalks…cheering, jumping up and down, waving toys or treats…when he doesn’t want to move, he won’t move. He has had plenty of opportunities to practice & learn as we have had him for a week and I take him out no less than 15 times a day to potty…I will give him gentle tugs on the leash and try to get him motivated, but he doesn’t care. It is incredibly frustrating. I know hound dogs are very sensitive, so I can’t lose my temper, get mad, or violently drag him…I feel like he doesn’t care about praise (being really happy and excited saying “good boy”) and he isn’t really motivated by food or treats. To me, this is very odd. I have tried the Iams biscuits and the Bil-Jac Liver Treats…he seems to enjoy the liver treats, but he won’t work for them while on the leash.
