ok can someone help me , i have this problem with my dog , when i go to take her for a walk , we will walk for a little bit and then she just sit for a second she will get up and start walking again , then she will sit back down, this goes on till we get home , we walk aroung the block, can anybody explain it and what can i do to get her to keep walking .

Angel have you done basic training with your dog? The sit command, the stay command and heel? Starting with just these basics as a form of structure and disciple can go a long way. Then when she is on a leash she may start to be more likely to follow commands.

her name is angel and i have had her 4 yearsn she is a shetland sheepdog , sheltie for short, she is a very good dog ,i have done basic traning with her , when i got her and she does pretty good ,it is just the walking part , she likes to walk , but like i said before , she will stop and sit , i tell her lets go and she will walk , but then in a second she will sit right down, i guess what i will haft to do is start putting her leach on when i am home and get her used to it and try walking in the house and yard and see what happens, another thing she does not bark in the house , but when i go to let her out , she will bark at me to come out and if i do she is ok , but if i don,t that is when she barks and i haft to hurry and close the door and she will stop , other then that she is a very good dog ,

angel,I looked at a couple web sites,but they all adress the problem if a dog is pulling to much,but not if he stops to much. It did say you have to make the dog learn to pay attention to your body,without you giving a command. Part of that would be to chnage directions while walking,but let the dog figure out you are doing so,by paying attention to your body movements. I will ask my boss,she knows just about everything there is to know about dog training.

ok sir evil i will try the treats and see what happens

krisy let me know what your boss says
