She has gone out the front door with clients while I'm calling her. Any ideas for inside a building???? I will work on treating every time she comes but I need her to come on command. Outside I wouldn't dare let her off leash - she just bolts (and has a couple times getting out of the car). I tried tying her to my belt for a week but then she just whined which is not acceptable when I'm working. Any quick solutions for whining???? Coming when called inside???? |
For coming inside, I would train her to come using the same method but do the recalls inside and outside. Once she learns to come, she will know to do it whether inside or out. For whining/barking, I would tell her "quiet" or "shhh" and reward her the instant she gets quiet. Eventually she'll learn "quiet" means... be quiet.
