As mentioned in @mdkel 's thread here: Recent Posts | Dog Forum | dogforum.co.uk when Jasper thinks it's time for his walk he can whinge and whine and moan and complain, and then when I get up - this happens:

Excuse the muddy carpet, it gets vacuumed once a week whether it needs it or not:D
 
Hahahaha sow cute. he's so excited to go for a walk he needs to lie down :D :D :D BTW, his body and face is very similar to zappa's :D except the colours and the coat
 
Stupid Eddi, this morning, I'm about a third up our drive to take him for a walk, the neighbour opposite is at her door, so what does he do? I don't think I need to tell you. She does have two dogs who are out sometimes and they bark, but they were nowhere in sight. I marched him back in and he can wait for a couple of hours now. Another first, but a negative one!!!

ETA: Oops, sorry to hijack your thread Judy.

Did he go for a walk and did he enjoy it? Also, did you have to get a crane to get him for the walk?
 
No problem, doggie1!

If you see the neighbour at her door again you could try not moving Eddi out of the house, but just giving him treats while he looks at the neighbour. So, the usual rules - try to keep him far enough away from the trigger that he doesn't react, and then give him loads of treats so he thinks a glimpse of the neighbour is a good thing.

There's no harm in aborting a walk, but don't feel it has to be as 'punishment' - you might even want to play a few 'happy games' with him instead. You don't want him to think next time he sees the neighbour, 'Grrrr, last time I saw her I didn't get my walk, grrrrrrrrr.'

That made me laugh! :D:D:D

The moment I got my boots on and stepped over him to get to the door he was up on his feet, raring to go!

He's never done that before, and her house is right in his trigger zone, so if he's going to bark when he sees her I can's distract him. Plus it took me unawares. I have to go to the doctor now, but he will get two walks, he's too young and vibrant not to. One thing about Eddi, he's always settled at night and been good through the night, part of that is because he is walked and stimulated in the day. So I don't want to muck that up.
