she has gotten about 15 ilbs over weight cause i havent had much time to take her out for exercise but now that i have the time she refuses to go I have woods near my house and usually by the time I get to the woods I let her run around without the leash but as soon as we get back into the neighborhood and she goes back on the leah she just sits there and wont move I end up pulling her till she has no choice but to walk or carry her home

my dog sometimes doesn't even want to leave the yardbut when I finally coax her (no I don't actually drag her) to going and we do et in the woods she run around ad plays just like normal its just the walk through the neihborhood to the woods and I have takeing her to the vet and as soon as we got out of the car she sarted to do the same thing. I thought maybe she was scared of cars but she hasn't been that way before this is just something recently and I don't take her running anymore she is way to out of shape for that i just try to take her on a nice easy walk

Change her diet, buy her food for overwieght dogs. Give her time to loose a couple of pounds and maybe then she'll want to be more active.

It seems that if she has gained 15 lbs, she must be out of shape. Just gradually ease her into the new exercise program. Not fair to stress her heart and joints too much. Just keep extending the walk by 5-10 minutes each day. Also if this is fairly odd behavior for her, maybe a vet trip is due. They can check if she has any underlying diseases or heart issues that may affect her stamina.

If she's overweight, it's no fun for her to run. (Just like people). She also may be having some problem with pain...depending on her age...maybe some arthritis pain? My 12 yr old dog can't stand a walk around the block any more due to arthritis.

A canine's metabolism is as we talk linked with actual activity. hence, walking gets the bowels going. besides, what you're able to do is crate prepare her. Take her out of the crate as we talk exterior. supply her 5 minutes to poop and if she will have the skill to no longer then come as we talk interior and returned to the crate. bypass away her in the crate for quarter-hour-one million/2 hour then right now returned exterior for 5 minutes. Repeat till she is going exterior then permit her play for a sprint bit. Then repeat the approach (you understand how commonly she desires to poop). After a while has exceeded convey her exterior and if she will have the skill to no longer poop then into the crate she is going! additionally convey treats exterior with you. tell her "bypass poop" while she starts off pooping then supply her treats. quickly she'll learn that outiside potential enterprise!

Your dog might not be healthy anymore--dogs usually like to run, if they can.
