Good video. I am dealing with a dog that I walk that refuses to walk on the leash and acts very fearful. He will sit or lay down. Of course he is on a front attach harness to limit his ability to pull which doesn’t work great when he is the one that won’t budge. He will refuse to follow me even in his own yard. Treats don’t always work as he will refuse them. It gets frustrating at times.
My father's dog was highly reactive and I trained him enough for short walks (15-20 minutes) and vet visits. Randomly, he would stop on our short walks, not every time, but it became more often. He was a senior dog at 13-14ish years old at the time. It was dementia episodes. Only one time did I have to make him move anyway as we were in the road blocking traffic. RIP Cooper ❤
I remember when my Hovawart puppy was very young whenever it got dark outside during our walks he would stop and stare at me and I had to carry him back to the house. Now, it's not a problem anymore. :D
I saw single event learning in action. After my dog got skunked she became a skunk detector. Everytime she was walking and smelled a skunk she would stop and refuse to go in the direction. She kept it up for years. We did encourage her by laughing about it and following her warnings.
