Border Collie Loves Walks But Hates Jogging

Now THIS is a dog I identify with! He and I both love being outside, breathing the air, smelling the fresh plants, and enjoying our surroundings—but only at a slow pace. Once you expect us to go faster than a casual stroll, we’re going back inside. This dog’s owner has her running shoes on and is all ready to go on a quick job. Her dog wants her to take him with her, but only if she downgrades to a walk. She offers to take him, but only if he promises to run with her. He shakes his head definitively, no.
