How to get a lazy dog to like me?

My dog is ten, and he does nothing the whole day. I'm trying to get him to like me, but it's hard because he isn't interested in doing anything. He only feels like doing things with my dad but even then he's very sluggish. He doesn't really like to be trained and barely enjoys walks. He pretty much never plays without food. I never thought a dog could be this boring. How do I get a dog that isn't interested in anything to like me? I think the reason why he's so sluggish is that he was ignored a lot for the last couple of months. How do I get him to become more active? I also want to point out that my dog is small he still has a while to live.

Answers Wow. Talk about a lack of empathy!

He might be a 10y/o small breed, but he could still be sick or even dying, but all you care about is how “boring” he is.

Have you or your dad taken him to the vet to rule out any medical conditions? Have you considered that he could be in pain with arthritis? Have you thought even for a second that he could have dementia? Or depressed?

It’s not just about you and how much your dog likes you. Being 10 doesn’t mean he’s not sick or dying - regardless of how small he is.

Get the dog to the vet, and try imagining how your dog feels, instead of how “boring” you find him

2. Dogs can be extremely stoic-much more than people. I had a senior dog with hip dysplasia, who had to be carried up the stairs in the morning, and was actively dying from cancer-she would still chase squirrels and vault off the fence once warmed up.

is it good to give Parle G to a street dog!

There is a street dog, I have named her Nandini, waits for me almost blocking by way to home. Why? to get a Parle-G biscuit, I am feeding her since 2012. She is well and has given birth to so many pups almost every breeding season. Perhaps Street dogs are very hardy. There are several foods that are forbidden for dogs especially breed dogs that can be given to street dogs. In a nearby temple, there is a dog who is alive eating khhitchri prasad in a local temple every day. And there is this hawker who feeds fried puri or chhole bhature to some street dogs. These feeds are just unthinkable to give breed dogs. Perhaps they are following Darwin’s principle- Those dogs who can digest human food are the only ones around us. Therefore, there are nothing wrong with giving Parle- G biscuits to street dogs though I will advise limiting this treat to one or two a day. Note- This question originally appeared on Quora. I answered the question there and received many upvotes. Read ...
