Ok so I have a weird question here. We have found that when we take the long walk in our neighbor hood there is this one or maybe 2 houses that Jack will freeze at the start of the property and not want to walk past the house, he will pull us into the street to get away! Sierra is now also picking up on the behavior and we do not understand why. There are no dogs at the house and the front is not fenced in. could they have put some kind of dog repellent on the lawn or maybe they have something sending out a noise we can’t hear? They do not do this with any other house on our walk; they behave this way EVERY time we come to this location. Anyone have any ideas?

Do they have lawn ornaments or anything adorning their lawn that others don't? It really could be anything.
Try carrying treats with you. When you get to the house, before he can freak out, start feeding him treats to distract him. Work your way closer and closer until he can walk past the house without freaking out.

1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.
