My Dog Doesn’t Like To Go On Walks…?

I recently adopted a Westie/Maltipoo from my local SPCA. He’s a year and a half & has lived in the shelter his whole life. He’s doing really well– no major behavior problems & pretty good with house training, but he does not like to go on walks!
I’ve been trying to make sure he gets exercise because he has been chewing his paws and I know this can be a sign of a nervous habit. However, he does not like walks. He does okay to sniff around & use the bathroom, but he hates walking with me. He will just stop and lay down when I try to walk with him. I’ve tried treats & calling his name, but he won’t budge. I’ve also tried grass vs pavement. The only time he likes to run around is when he chases me around my apartment. Also, he doesn’t really understand how to play with balls and other toys. How do you teach a dog to play with toys? I’m hoping if he gets better with walks and playing he won’t chew his paws as much. We’re signed up for dog classes in Jan., but we need help now!

I Have A 10 Week Old Westie That Doesn’t Crate Train Well.?

My westie puppy is proving to be hard to potty train. I have tried the crate but she will use the bathroom in the crate and it is not big enough for her to use one end and sleep in the other.She would have been a mess if I hadn’t been watching. She had just been outside the 3 times it has happened and came in and used her crate.I have her in a small penned in area in my kitchen now with puppy pads when I am not home. I take her out first thing in the morning around 5 am, as soon as I get home and approx every hour after untill around 10 at night. She will occasionaly pee outside, but has only deficated once. I praise her and offer puppy treats, the very few times it has happened but… I don’t think it happens often enough for her to make the connection. She will try to hold it while we are outside only to come in and go. Help!!!! I am hoping time will make a difference but I am very frustrated. I want to be able to allow her free reign of the house but that looks to be a long way off. The problem is probably me – I am not used to a dog in the house, but she is a joy in every other way.
