He needs behavior modification. My vet gave me some papers to follow. You need time and patience for this. It goes something like this. You put your dog in a position (like sitting) in your room. You back up a few steps and tell him to stay. When he does you go back to him and give him a treat. (Make sure these treats are small, you go through alot of them). You do this for so many repetitions. Another time you go in a circle around him and make him stay. Another time you go toward the door with your hand on the knob (but don't leave yet), return and treat. After so many weeks, your dog learns to stay while you're moving around him, dancing, leaving, whatever. Then you take this outside and do the same in your yard (with the distraction of cars, people, etc.). Like I said, it takes some time but it really worked with mine. Towards the end, I got her to start walking toward me, stop when I told her to, then continue. I still have all the papers. If you want to message me with your mailing address, I'd be happy to send them to you. I thought my vet was crazy when she gave these to me, but they really worked.![]()
