So, you found out the hard way that catch me if you can is
one of their favorite little games to play? Oh my gosh we
went through the same thing in the beginning and thank god
we have a 6 foot tall fence around our yard because we would
have looked like we flipped our lids trying to catch zippy little
Teddy to our neighbors. Think about this...you need to make
the pay off for coming worth while to them. Find something
that they just love and bribe the heck out of them until they
get the idea of what you are trying to get them to do. You
use their weakness (treats, special toy) against them and
when they do come for whatever it is you choose to use you
really have to party it up. I kid you not my whole family thought
I was nuts with my whoo hoo's and yah Teddy's but it worked
and now he comes on a dime because either way he wins in his mind.
If they go into the catch me if you can mode just turn and walk
away and try again in a few minutes. Once she knows you're wise
to the little games she will come around and until then good luck!
