I was wondering if you could give me some tips for my two year old rescue dog, Russell. I feel like I drag him to go for walk, drag him to eat dinner, drag him inside, drag him to bed. We can go for a perfectly nice walk, then he plays dead outside of the car and I have to figure out how to pull him in the car. Then when we get home, he just wants to sit in the car. He's not treat or toy motivated. Praising him doesn't help. I want him to be happy but this morning he got up and went out to sleep on the lawn. I have to drag him to eat breakfast. Then he wants to go out and sleep some more. Very frustrating.
On a positive note, he loves people and will sit there willingly while all kinds of people meet and great him. But really? I can't keep picking up a young 60lb dog all the time. Plus, he won't go potty in the yard. I walk him about 45 minutes in the morning and he goes potty on walk. In the evening, my husband walks him but not always to get to potty. It might not be always possible - how can I get him to use the yard?
He has separation anxiety so I stopped putting him in the laundry room (with gate that he can jump) and I wonder what will happen to house when I get back.

My Pup is 9 months old, and though not a purebred has most of the pyr traits that I am aware of. This is my first pyr though I have always admired them.

My pure is 1 year old. Is he likely to stop tearing up anything with foam rubber? Thanks

I just adopted my Great Pyrenees, Leo, a few days ago. He was kept intact by his last owners and used as a stud. He will be 2 years old in May this year.
