Michelleva Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 My dear old Nan's been pretty crook with the flu for the last few weeks and she was telling me that her little doggy hadn't been walked for weeks. So being the dutiful grand daughter I offered to go over there with Georgia and walk her dog with mine. WELL, this little dog who is smaller than my 6 month old puppy ATTEMPTED to pull my arm out the socket. Far out, my shoulder is still sore from attempting to get him to walk next to me. At one stage he was pulling so hard, he was almost choking himself and my pup looked at him, as if to say what the hell are you doing?? Georgia walks beautifully on lead, she also KNOWS that the leader walks through the door first. Not this little spoilt brat, he just attempted to barge through everything. He's about 4 years old and has had no training. He's ok at home, but this is the first time I've ever attempted to walk him. I just kept stopping every few steps, waiting for him to release the pressure, then we kept going. It was a very slow and painful walk. I know if I had a couple of weeks with him I could teach him some manners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Nice that you're helping out your nan and I hope she gets better soon :D It's kinda be expected for a dog to go crazy if they haven't been out for a walk in weeks. It will have a lot of pent up energy in him. And, if he is untrained too, he won't know any better either. So don't be so hard on him. BTW... Emmy is about 3kg and my little girl is STRONG!! When she pulls, my arm really feels like. The boyfriend is always grateful on how well trained Charlie is and Emmy is going to be after having dinner with one of his friends. They have a small dog that is so ill mannered and is not trained, he always comes home with treats for Charlie and Emmy, and tells them they are the best dogs ever.

Michelleva Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Don't worry I know its not the dogs fault. I also had the idea to go back in a few days and walk him again and see if he's the same. I know he has LOTS of energy for such a little thing. I'll walk him on his own and start the same way I started with the pup. My Nan has been complaining of a sore shoulder for months now, I wonder if its the arm she holds the dog with. hmmm I will try and help her to help him, but she's VERY set in her ways, and considers us "youngsters" don't know anything. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
