Hi I have a 11 week English mastiff (3/6/20) when on leash he will just stop a refuse to walk and lay down...off leash he does a lot better but will still sit and not want to walk till we are far enough ahead of him that he slowly decides “okay I’ll come”... he is going to be a service dog so he needs to learn to walk on leash...I’m just wondering if this is a age thing or breed thing or if anyone else has had this issue with their English mastiff...it’s not far walks either mile at most or even just during training at grocery stores and it’s A little embarrassing carrying a 30lbs dog with his service dog vest through the store cause he wants to take a “nap” lol I try to go when he has just woken up from his naps so I know he is rested...
