Is it possible to raise a dog so it doesnt stop every three meters

Let him sniff. That is how he knows whats up with the area. It is like twitter for dogs. Unless he is sniffing trash, poo or something bad then teach him leave it.
Get some small chunks of chicken, hot dog or whatevs the dog really likes. Every time he sniffs something he shouldn't pull out the treat as soon as he stops sniffing it say leave it and have him come get the treat. Praise then repeat.

Pretty much this.

It is fun for the doggo. Let him sniff and have a fun time. Walkies are supposed to be fun fun times.

That being said, if he digs in at a spot and wants to spend all day there, give them a happy "Let's go!" and just tug him along. He will eventually learn "let's go" means "oh shit time to keep moving or anon eill make me move".

A dog might not be for you.

I think it would be fine if I wasnt living in the city where its all piss.
Its not bad when I take him for a walk in the forest or whatever.

Yeah I think thats where my sister fucked up raising him, because he refuses to move on no matter what I do.

I let my dog sniff because it's interesting to her and I don't want to interrupt. As soon as she finishes sniffing and her attention is back on me, I click and treat. So she gets to sniff but she learns to focus on me during walks.

Is he neutered?

>>2240257
No. Pretty sure he's gay too, or at least bi.

Depends on if you want to be the sort who walks your dog or the sort that lets your dog walk you. Looks like most of these anons are in the latter camp. No real surprise there.

Letting my dog sniff because she enjoys it and it's healthy mental stimulation doesn't mean I'm letting her walk me. I'm still in charge of the walk.

If he still has his balls it will make him want to sniff and sent mark more. I bet he lifts his leg every few seconds in a walk.

Did you read my post?

If you lack the strength to make a terrier move, then you need to go to a gym desperately.

I dont want to break him. He always fights back when I tug him.
Sometimes when he wants to turn a 30minute walk into a two hour walk I just pick him up and carry him home.

He stops because you let him stop.

Keep moving, and it'll get the message soon enough, even if it takes dragging his ass along the sidewalk for awhile.

Then be gentle? I tug along my 18 pound little spaniel mix when she takes too long and I have yet to break her.

Put him on a harness (small dogs should be on one anyways) and use just as much force as you have to use to make him stop sniffing and rejoin you. Dogs are tough. Unless you are bring malicious, you won't break him.

this. he'll move before he lets himself actually get hurt.

Man, sometimes I don't mind letting my dog wander and let her make small decisions, but sometimes I just want to go on a long walk with her to tire her a bit and walk at a brisk pace without stopping every few meters.
