Trying to be as patient as possible.
He's a 10 week old Australian Cattle Dog with way too much energy to burn off in the house. If he's outside his crate in the house playing, he will often eliminate inside on a whim and try to bite everyone in site. This is leading to him spending way too much time in the crate. If I bring him outside without the leash, he'll eliminate and cry at the door to come back inside.
So, I've been trying to leash train him the past few weeks, to at best walk him around the block to burn off some energy. He flops down in the shade and refuses to move. If I try luring him with a treat, he'll sometimes come for the treat and run right back to the shade. Same thing with the "come" command; hit or miss, and take away the treat and he won't bother.
I've tried leashing him and letting him run about. He seems to forget about it after awhile but it doesn't persuade him to walk outside.
