My Australian Shepherd (currently 9 months old) is a very submissive male, he is also is very anxious. He tries to submit repeatedly while training, like if we’re walking side by side on leash and often times with commands like sit and stay which makes his training challenging when he is rolling over or submissively urinating.
He does not come from an abused background we’ve had him since he was 8 weeks.
What can we do to get less of a submissive response and more action when either doing hand signals or verbal commands?
