Re-reading the Lord of the Rings, Chapter 34
Will and skill, if you think about it, it's clear that Gollum is the one, who's trained to make it to the Cracks of Doom, only that he doesn't want to go there.
But he's in a tight spot, like a gang member whom the bosses are looking for. And of all things, it would hurt Gollum the most, if Sauron was to recapture The Ring.
He is a miserable little wretch, and Frodo realises, after straying through the Emyn Muil, that his best chance is to control him. And Gollum realises that his best chance lies in betrayal, for they are already on Sauron's door-steps and any kind of open fight bears the danger that Sauron will take notice, in particular if Frodo puts on The Ring.
So Frodo extends his hand unto Gollum as to a dog, and he's taking some pride in his mastery and the responsibility that comes with it.
