She's probably just not sure what you are doing LoL She may think when you start running you are trying to play a game. So I would just start slow like with any other training exercise until she figures out what you want. I am sorry I don't have any better suggestions, but I am sure others will be able to give you some good advice.

ditto what brit said... start off increasing your walking speed, if she starts to act up, just stop completely... when she stops doing the behavior again the reward her with going again....

Ditto and Welcome

Maybe try jogging after she's pooped-she sounds full of vinegar and wanting to play-so maybe if she's tired already she'll be focusing on going forward-rather then up and playing

I just had a blonde moment. Why in the world would her running before she poops or after she poops makes a difference?

I think she means "tired" like pooped out.

LoL I know. That's why I said I had a blond moment. Because when I first read it that is what I thought.
