Zig-zagging in Virginia

My dog Smokey used to have an adversion to the fire hygrant we
passed ever day on a part of our walk. He would pull me to cross the
street every time. He very much had the zig zag behavior on walks
to avoid things or (people) he didn't like.

I tried everything to correct this, but nothing worked. Smokey eventually
loss his fear by himself, when I stopped making such a big deal out of it.
