Also, in the house do not chase her. You need to teach her to come to you (bribe her with a treat at first) for only good things. I never call my two to come when it's something they don't like doing (tooth brushing, grooming, etc.) - I walk by them and nonchalantly scoop them up for those times. They've learned that when I say 'come' that it's only for good things and they come all the time  |
I agree. AND I'll share what worked for me in a panic once. I had a wild female run out of my house and started down the middle of the road like there was no tomorrow. I knew I could NOT chase her or she'd just take off. I went out by the street and then called her with the excited of a kid at the carnival and then ran as fast as I could back towards the house. She ran right after me to see what was so great. I was so relieved.
But NEVER chase in the house, and ALWAYS treat when they come no matter what - as I say - even if they ate your checkbook - if they come, the get a treat!
