Hi everyone, we just brought home Gus on Friday! I am definitely noticing that he has several quirks that my lab and my hubby's beagle never had, hahaha. He is SO endearing but he is different so I hoped you guys here with experience may have some words of wisdom.
First off, he hates his harness. I mean, he flips out if I try to put it on him. And he flips out if I clip the leash to it. I never drag him or really force him to walk beyond his desire since he is only 9 weeks old, but I have to leash him for potty time so I am trying to figure out if I could be doing this differently.
By the way, for his age, he is doing GREAT at potty time! :-D
Secondly, does anyone have any advice how to get him to walk up and down the stairs? LOL. I won't be able to carry him much longer. He just barks like a maniac if I go up and try to call him.
He does this kind of head butt thing that is really amusing to me. I never had a dog who would try to get my attention by head butting my legs. Is this a bully thing?
Thanks!
