So since Simba turned a year old he became really finicky with his sleeping schedule.
He won't go to sleep at night.
We have a game room where his crate is attached to an exercise pen with 2 beds in it. He used to sleep after his evening walk, eat, and at 9:30 we'd take him to go to the bathroom and he'd walk into his crate willingly. Now, after his walk he barely sleeps, we take him to the bathroom and when he gets to his sleeping area he refuses to stay in. If we leave him against his will he flips over his water bowl, tries to escape, and constantly barks. He will however fall asleep on our balcony almost instantly.
Recently( these last couple weeks) he doesn't want to go for his walk anymore. He is a ball of energy and waits at the front door till we go for a walk, but if we start going he just lays in someone's grass till we turn back. I noticed today that if we start of really really slow then he'll comply for a while and then after we can speed up, but I don't understand where this is coming from. I initially thought it maybe hip issues but he has no problem doing laps at full speed in our backyard.
Any ideas?
