i have a jack russel mix that is about 2 years old, and a yorkie who is around 1 and my jack russel has been having aggresion problems such as trying to bite people when they want to take her off the sofa or bed. I was reading a lot of Cesar Millan’s books and i have learned tht excersize (other then walking) such as running will help your dog to train it to be in a more clam submisive state of mind, so i ran with my dogs yesterday for about 30 minutes and they ran fast and they kept up with me, but today when i ran with my dogs my jack russel mix wouldn’t run i would have to pull it so it could walk faster but it just wouldn’t run. She likes to run around in the house and play with my yorkie but she wouldn’t run, and i realized that as we were getting closer to my house she started to run which was really wierd. Couls it be possible that this has to do with an operation she had in her leg a year ago?
why wont my dog run with me?

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

Oh probably it’s the surgery.. If you ran her hard yesterday suddenly, without working up to it.. it’s very possible that she is feeling it today. You have to work up to exercise if you are used to just sitting around.. Start with good long walks and work up to running.. Don’t over do it with the dog that had surgery.

Just like humans dogs have to build muscles and have limits maybe shorten the run or turn them into longer walks trust me

It’s possible her leg is bothering her. It’s also possible, given her behavior with the furniture, that she is rejecting the notion of you being the alpha. Run anyway. She will have to run to keep from being dragged. You are going for a walk/run. She is lucky enough to get to come along. You decide how fast you go. Not her.

That is so weird because I have a two year old lab and he loves to run around and play. But latley he does not want to run or even go for a walk sometimes. I will get his leash and he will get all happy then we go out the gate and he lays in the st and won’t get up till we go back home. He is 80 pounds so I can’t just pull him. It is so sad cause dogs need to excersize everyday just like humans. I don’t know what to do either.
