Thanks for the tips! We have been using "Stop" at every curb we come across and he is now slowing down at each one. Sometimes I dont say "stop" to see what he does and he sometimes stops...progress! Bit more work to do yet I think, but we are getting there :rolleyes:

We have recently adopted a 5yr old Lab who has had some prior training, but could do with some more road sense training. Overall, he is pretty good with verbal commands, however he had a ACL repair approx 2 yrs ago and seems to be uncomfortable sitting. When I give him the "sit" command he often lays down instead. I have been reading the posts on road sense and each seems to recommend the use of commands "sit" then "cross". With the issues with his ACL I dont want to force him to sit if it causes him discomfort, so my question is - would a "stand" or "stop" command work just as well as "sit"?
