there is nothing wrong with a stubborn dog, if you can pick them up and ultimately get them to do what you want them to be doing. however when your dog weighs 150+ pounds and he wants to stay in the car, that is where he is going to stay.

eventhough his foot is still sore and in a bandage i decided to take him to the park for a walk. he did really well and listened to me and since it was ust the two of us i dropped the leash and walked away from him and when i got about 15 feet away he got up and came to me. eager to not be left behind.

when his bandage fell off and i could see walking was painful i brought him home. i put a fresh bandage on while he was in the car and now i am trying to get him out. well i am no longer trying, i have decided to come inside and make myself a cup of tea. good thing it is an overcast day with threats of rain, and that he will be cool enough in the car with the windows cracked.
