Kelpie - gets tired quickly ??

Hi there,

it is a bit tricky to diagnose this from the distance. Does he get tired quickly when you play with him in your back yard? If not then he might be trying to control the walk.

It might also be that you walk him on a surface that is uncomfortable for his paws. Try to walk him on soft ground, for example grass.

Does he always stop in the same spot? He might be worried about something.

Also remember that walking around in the neighbor hood is a big thing for dogs, there are som many noises, smells and sights that he could get tired a lot quicker than at home.

Do you walk him really fast? It might just be a bit much for him.

Did the vet check his hips and bones?

Cheers
John
