I'm trying to use the console to bring dogmeat to the lone wanderer I tried moveto player 0006a775 but that didn't work am I doing something wrong here?

Try

prid 0006a775
moveto player

It activated him but the moveto player command didn't bring him to me.

Sounds like he might be dead, then. Try

prid 0006a775
resurrect
disable
enable

and see if he shows up.

I finally got it, it was player.placeatme 0006A772, 1, 1, 1 you can lock the thread now.

placeatme actually spawns a new copy of the thing, rather than locates the original. Still, in this case it shouldn't do any harm. So, closing this as requested.
