Further adventures of Doozle

So I tried to be good-mom and take Doz for a walk around the neighborhood after I got off work. Decided to try the GentleLeader again just out of curiosity. I hooked it around his nose and got him out the door with minimal fuss. Then in the middle of our front yard he sits, then flops down on his side and refuses to move. This is a dog who has never met a walk he doesn't love!

Spent 5 minutes coaxing and trying to out-wait him, then gave up and hooked the leash to his collar instead and removed the Leader. Still no movement. "Walkies?" and "Snacks?" words were used over and over with no result. "Poophead!" words, similar. Finally I scooped him up with arms under his chest. When I walked toward the sidewalk, he collapsed on his side again, so I tried heading back toward the house- he sprang up, grabbed the leash in his mouth, and trotted directly to the door.

Ummm, I guess he didn't want a walk? Or I seriously wounded his dignity and he was so offended he couldn't stand being out in public with me? If nothing else, I suuure gave the neighbors a good laugh. No pockets, so no phone for pictures sadly.
