I take her out every day and every day Georges gets to a certain point and sit's down and will not walk any more , she is physically healthy and I can get her to go maybe 5 more feet eith her treats as a bribe, I mean she is so stuburon its funny almost , but not funny when I have to carry a 23 lb dog with leash in hand home. help why is she sitting down?
Answers:
Well the pup is still quite young to be walking too far and if it seems uncomfortable leaving it's home that could be the reason. Just try to increase the walk buy a little each day until the pup is older and more comfortable with it's new surroundings. OK
Oh! be firm (but not mean) and MAKE her walk farther (doesn't have to be MILES just another block or so and slowly increase the distance). my Rott/Pit mix throws those kind of tantrums (when I want her to come home with me instead of staying at granny and grandpa's house or if I want her to take a bath) you can't let HER set the rules (as long as she is physically healthy) because that is giving up dominance.
Decision I: No, Pis are NOT banned in most states. There are a COUPLE of STATES with BSL and the rest of the legislation is community based. That means that while some TOWN in a state may have banned Pitts, Rotts, GS, Dobies what have you they are not banned in the entire STATE. In fact TEXAS just passed legislation to prevent communities from passing their own BSL so Texas is all or nothing and is NOT looking to pass any BSL any time soon. PLEASE STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION ABOUT BSL.
First, Pit Bulls are outlawed in most states... maybe you need to get a new pet before something very bad happens.
Turn around and take her back home she will soon realise that this is what will happen every day until you stop acting yourself, giving her food is just telling her that every time she does this she is going to get fed. Just take her home and try again later she will soon get the message. What heppens when you let her off the lead does she go any further?
My pit pull when she was 13 weeks refused to walk but after bering about 16 to 18 weeks old she walked no problem. Just give it some time.
AS for the Decision bs comment,its aparent that he is a misguided person who knows nothing about the breed and is speaking out of ignorance and is a mentaly retarted person for making a statement like that.
try what cesar millan did on the dog whisperer! what you do is get the dog on its leash and a treat bag.then when you get to an area where she will not walk shake the treat bag in front of her.then when she does walk, reward her with a treat. if this does not work then try this site,

hope this helps!:)
You have to be the pack leader or your dog will get whatever she wants. You have tried to tempt her by treats. You should not do that. Give a tight pull on the dogs leash and literally yell at her to come. Then pick her up (you should be able to do this because I have a 161 pound great dane and yes he can be stubborn) and put her a couple feet down the (road, path, etc.) . Why she is sitting is like a command saying, "I don't want to go any farther so you have to take me back home now." kind of thing. Try it.
If she has a favorite toy, bring it along and play with her to try and get her to walk more. Or bring treats and coax her to keep walking. If you always walk the same route then maybe change it up so she doesn't walk the same path each time.
