Hi Mary, sitting here chuckling to myself with your question, it is just a "pekingese" sometimes they will do what you ask and other times they decide not to, no way to force him, he calles the shots, as long as he wants to walk he will, if not then you are sunk, if you force the issue you will only make him dislike to go walking at all. As long as he walks and is happy enjoy it, if he quits quess you will be carrying him home!! They are not a dog that loves long walks, they can be quite lazy and stubborn.
Best wishes.
You are so lucky he has such a lovely tempermant.
