Hello,
We lost our second Rottweiller to cancer and the wife said no more Rottys. In to our lives we now have Diesel, a tan English Mastiff. Being used to the ease at which Rottys are trained, the hard headed goof Diesel is proving to be a challenge. Potty training was a breeze. Sit and down are coming along just fine. The leash on the other hand, he's not having it! When a leash is connected he refuses to get up. We have been using a short lead, and just letting him carry it around the house and yard. He will reluctantly get up and walk around with it, eventually. When you get a hand on the lead he drops like a rock. We have been playing this game for a couple of months with no improvement. Any recommendations? Thanks.
