Shio, you are so silly! Natto throws hissy fits on hot days. Once, while on a walk during the summer, he stopped and lay spread eagle, paws out, legs out in the middle of the crosswalk. Wouldn’t budge. Was almost dragged the rest of the way with humiliated dog walker.
hmm… maybe no feeding before the walk and lure with cheese/favorite treat? Zuko doesn’t do this, but if he did, that would be our first attempt to solve the “issue”!

Awww, Shio–not again! At least we know you are really smart–you know your directions!

i know this is frustrating for you, but it absolutely cracks me up! such an intelligent dog!
I wish I knew the cause of this lay-down protest! I’ve tried several different treats, cold water, dragging, pulling, ignoring, cooing and commands. All to no avail!

haha pong does that too. She sits first and if you try to drag her, she lies down just like Shio! hehe
Haiku for Shio:
Tantrum, or protest?
Civil disobedience
Mahatma Shio!
