Dutch Shepherd Forum

Ok what's with this now.

When I walk Dutch he walks beside or behind me. I don't have any problems. When He's off leash he stays with 10 feet of me. He will run off then come back he come when I call him and when I say enough he stops. If there's biker (cycles not motor) or joggers he stays low and out of their way. A lot of the joggers now know him say hi keep going.
We walk him separately because of schedules.
I have stated in the past Dutch has completely taken off, but the hasn't happened in a while.
The other night me and hubby walked him together. He was balking jumping running ahead all kinds of crap I don't allow. When I let him off leash he would run at me not hubby just me. I haven't had this in a while. Hubby said the same thing. He's a little crazy when he walks him but not this bad. I felt like my arm was being yank off. It wasn't much better when hubby had the leash.

Could he not like he 2 of us walking him at the same time?

my reaction is that probably he is simply extra happy at having the whole family together for an outing.

I thought that too but it's a little more aggressive and competitive. More like "listen you 2 I'm in charge of the walk now".

I could just simply look at it as happy. I'm thinking we do more walk together. Once a week.

I would add in dual activities and keep the rules the same as if you were walking him separately. My guy will sometimes try that if I have someone else with me on a walk. I don't stand for it. I'm patient but I'm also firm with my rules. He'll learn. It's a testing of the limits, especially if he's not sure what the rules are when he's never had the both of you on a walk.
