Sometimes I'll be walking Plato and suddenly he'll just roll onto his back and lie on the sidewalk. After a few tugs or waving a treat in his face, he'll get up. He's usually not tired or anything when he does this. His eyes are wide open like it's calculated...We never give him attention when he's in this mode. I'm 99% sure it's a teenage rebellion thing.
Aside from that, he's excellent on the leash (it's always loose and he never pulls or leads). Plato also does this when we have to leave the dog park or when we get his leash out for going outside. I talked to another corgi owner who said her dog does the same thing.
Has anyone found the cause and a good "cure" for this?
It is possible that we have the least motivated corgi on earth!
