[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some dogs truly do not care about walks.  We have been breeding, raising, and training German Shepherds for years.  Most GDSs enjoy a daily walk, but are perfectly fine when it doesn't happen. On bad weather days my Shepherds run outside, go potty, and run back in.  They hate rain.  On days when I don't feel well, they don't care about going for a walk. If it's cold outside, I often have to force them to go for a walk.

And like the PP, my dogs never poop when we go for a walk.  They are trained to use the bathroom before we leave.  It's a really good habit to encourage. People don't like it when your dog pees on their grass. They also don't like it when your dog poops on  their lawn, even if you pick it up.[/quote]

I totally agree with this.  I posted earlier about how I almost never walk my dogs in the rain.  My lab's eyes light up when I so much as touch a tennis ball and head towards the back door, however he will sometimes try to hide underneath the dining room table when I try to put his harness on after it's dark since he knows it's "just a walk" and doesn't include a trip to the dog park.  He could take it or leave it.  [/quote]

Same here.  We have two dogs - one that would spend his every waking moment outdoors on a walk if we'd let him, one that would never ever go outside if we'd let him.  Not walking the first dog tons and tons would be pretty cruel to him, skipping walks and just doing short potty breaks for the second one would honestly make him happy as a clam.    [/quote]
