Narrative:
I was giving instruction in an aircraft for a commercial rating. Upon landing on the ground roll my student got complacent and did not control the airplane. I then instructed the student to apply full power and apply the proper controls. The student froze up on the controls and proceeded towards the right to the runway edge. I was on the controls by then and proceeded to utilize the grass on the right side of the runway to avoid injury or damage to property and the aircraft. The grass departure was smooth and clear of any obstacles. There was no damage to the airport or aircraft. I then stopped and had a discussion with the student about what happened and how to prevent this from happening again. After the discussion I agreed with the student that we should not end the flight on a bad note and proceeded with the flight without incident. After the flight I gave additional ground training so my student makes the proper decisions on go-arounds and maintaining aircraft control in all phases of flight. I also admit that I have not encountered any of my students freezing up on the controls so it was a learning experience for me as well.
