Thanks for the encouragement Higgin's mom....however mister Max is 3 years old......I think he has developed selective hearing.....if he hears his leash, collar with tags, or me picking up my keys...then he is right at my heels...but you can just see him tune me out if he does not want to come when I want him to come......particularly if there is something to mark
...Even if there is no pee pee left....he lifts his little leg and goes thru the motion anyway....If there is the remotest thing that interests him.....I am calling in vain.....when he does come to me.....I praise him and praise him.....Once...I even raised my voice and clapped my hands loudly...he just hunkerd down trying to be as flat as possible and froze in place.....I never did that again.
I think it can be a safety issue....he needs to come when called.....but nothing that I have done yet...works..SOOOOOOO...I just keep him on a 18 foot leash....and rein him in as needed
