morgan is very good walking on a leash 95% of the time. She does get excited if she sees another dog or person coming towards us and in this case she will try and pull. i correct this behavior by giving her a tug on the leash along with the caesar "shhht' sound. she knows that sound means 'no' so she'll stop the behavior she is currently doing. As far as stopping and not wanting to walk, i'll tell her to 'come on' or 'walk with me' or 'walking' and give her a tug in the direction i want to go, then i just continue to walk away (works best on a retractable because eventually if you keep walking they will run to catch up to you instead of being left alone). Or if on a short leash and harness walk right next to them and pull straight up on the leash a little. this lifts their front legs so they can't lie back on them. if you go in front and pull this will cause the dog to pull back and lie down, which will not cause them to walk.
