My biggest Shepherd had a habit of laying in the hallway, and when you started
to step over him, he would stand up. Hmm "Ride'em cowboy!" It was like a man
astride a horse! Usually, though, he did move out of the way, though.

Norman,
you've got to know the dog is there before you can give her any commands at
all. My dog doesn't automatically move out of the way when I'm in danger of
treading on him, and that happens when he's lying in some silly place like the
bottom of the stairs. Once I know he's there, I can tell him to get up, fine,
and he does. Even if he was wearing one of those dreaded bells, he wouldn't be
moving or sounding the bell in these situations.
I usually walk around barefoot, which is just as well, because when I have
unexpectedly collided with my dog, it doesn't seem to have hurt him.
Vince.

Hi,
Teach her the up sit command when you want to go past her.
Norman.

Hello, I joined this list to find out some things about guide dogs.
I do not use a guide, however, I do have a question about dogs. I have a 10
month old female shepherd. Does anyone have any training ideas on how to have
her move when I am walking near her. She does not move and I do not want to
step on her. thanks for any suggestions, I am working with her on basic
obedience. She was sort of a rescue when I got her.
