Question
We have a 6 mo old Boston Terrier who, when on the leash outside absolutely will not move, just sits there. We have tried bribing him to move with treats but to no avail. It is the same thing in the house, he refuses to move. We do not yell at him, even tho he makes messes. His other brother and sister are already 90 % potty trained....HELP

Answer
   Hi John,
        I would recommend taking him to Petsmart for some Beginner Education classes. Not only do they provide him with basic obedience, but it socializes him with children, strangers, other animals, and other dogs as well(critical for a dog of this age). They teach him how to walk on a leash, sit, stay, leave it, ect. It costs about $100 for eight weeks of training. Visit this link for more info: http://stores.petsmart.com/petsmart/
