ADVICE GREATLY NEEDED!! I have a Bearded Collie who will turn two in December.  I am having a great deal of difficulty on our walks together.  This guy decides, usually on the way back home, that he is not going to walk any further.  He will stop & flop where I can't get him up @ all.  I have been stuck @ a spot for over an hour.  My husband (if home) has to come and get us.  If not I'm on my own.  It is getting very upsetting & embarassing as you can imagine.  Everyone stops to see if he is sick or what the problem is.  I WISH I KNEW.  Tried the gentle lead, went to the vet, called the breeder.  I don't want to stop our walks together both of us need the exercise but lately I haven't been taking him because I'm afraid I might never return home.  There is one thing I am concerned with.  He is petrified of lawn mowers.  I have no control obviously of who is mowing the lawn.  I'm wondering if he is so sound sensitive that this is the problem.  Please HELP me with some suggestions.  I really don't know what to do.
