Last few days I wanted to make this topic to see if someone have similar problem before I report it. I have hunter and pet time to time have bug just to stay dont attack dont do nothing at all, need to dismiss him and call him again. Especially when we r on right stairs in raid Battle of Dazar’alor before we go to docks. On lock same thing demon is just freeze dont attack need to dismiss him sometime reload game. I was thinking I m only one but when i was with lock in pug there was some hunter who have same problem like me. He needed to dismiss pet . I ask him and he say that pet have bug! Anyone have similar problem?
My mate who’s a hunter, has this for as long as I can remember lol. He’s constantly raging on discord “where the hells my pet gone”. It happen a lot in keys and raids to him, not sure what causes it.

I main Demonology Lock and yes, it happens…since alot of time to be honest. It’s not exactly a bug.
Is the ground texture that cause this issue, sometimes they can’t find a path available and they become struck. For me it happens mostly on Opulence Mythic during the gauntlet phase (aka phase 1), when he swaps you the Felguard it strucks, and you are basically playing without a pet unless you resummon him or you are swapped again (but that’s probably because of the spears that block the rooms, but if you become the target of the second swap the Felguard it unstruck and becomes active again).
Implosion actually works and let the imps cross the spears, but it take ages to reach the second target, luckily the Explosive Potential azerite trait works on the cast and not when it hit the target, so it’s not SO bad but yes, sometimes you are basically playing without a pet because of this.

Pets can be very buggy. I have frequently shouted at my pets on various classes when they misbehave.

Don’t shout at them! They’re doing their best even if it means they are getting stuck on literally nothing! =P

So you want say it is mine comp making that problem? If you r I can tell it is not xD
Implosion work but in that case Demonic Sreght should work to but it is not.
This is bug and no one can tell me it is not. I will report it but have little hope that will repair ti. Since I report bug in Return to Karazhan at boss at stage 2 of Viz’aduum the Watcher boss is reset. Now even legion enchant dont work hahaha man I feel so depresed 
It is very frustrating 
You do great dps and guess what ding ding ding your pet / felguard is on vacation drinking cocktails and say pfff pal you dont pay me for this job… time is money
Legion was filled with problems like this. I was able to work around them with my hunter by using a flying pet, a pet with charge, or the Blink Strikes talent. Then they baked charge into kill command in late Legion and did something to further lobotomize AI during BFA beta (where pets could wander around for 3 to 5 seconds before actually moving to attack targets standing right in front of them).
I no longer play my hunter.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a hunter, a mage, a warlock or a DK, if you have a pet, it will find a way to disappear when it’s needed.

I usually use a /petattack macro and it seems to solve this, the one thing that does annoy me is when I am levelling and gain a level, my pets health goes to 50% from 100%, so I have to stop and heal it.

Thanks for sharing this will try it! 
Now with lock when I enter in dungeon have same problem with felgaurd and need to reload game… approximately 3 to 4 x need to reset him and I m behind of all fight… Pray that ppl dont kick me from grp xD
I understand you totally lol So many times i want to quit it but I love hunter. I think Blizz need to fix this! I know there is a lot things in current expansion what they r working on but still …
The pet issues affect Classic so they’ll have to do something about them. And hopefully those fixes will make their way into BFA.

I hope it will!! Someone ask me before 2 days , some hunter in raid lfr how you have low dps with 411 ilvl … There is a big difference when pet fighting with me and when he do NOTHING! In min I m first with dps and second later I m rolling down lol
After killing Lord Stormsong in Shrine I have to dismiss pet once I have swam through the water - very annoying.
I have those too but if the pet is stuck in a doorway nothing makes it move apart from dismiss and re-summon.
Don’t put words on my mouth that i never said. I never said you shouldn’t complain about that, i said that it’s been like this since alot of time.
And NO, Demonic Strenght doesn’t work like Implosion, DS works like Souls Strike, it’s your demon that perform the action, not you, and in fact Soul Strike doesn’t work either (exactly like Demonic Strenght), the only spell that works is Axe Toss IF your Felguard is in range of the target, because that’s a ranged stun, in the case of Implosion you are the one that cast it, not your pet. Demonic Strenght and Souls Strike works like Kill Command for Hunters, if your pet is out of range or is struck, it will not cast it.
Now, is it an issue? Yes indeed, is it tied to a pet bug? No, it’s tied to the ground textures
