Piper has a big problem with the come command. She acts like she's afraid and wants to get away. I can't figure it out. I never yell at her, I try not to grab for her. The only way I can get her to come is if I kneel down on the floor even with her, she knows I have a treat, make eye contact, tell her to sit, which she does quite well, coax her to come and when she does I give the treat, wait a few seconds then pick her up if it is time to go out. Once she is in my arms, she is all lovey, dovey with lots of kisses. I think it's all a big game for her. It's very annoying and dangerous for her if she doesn't learn to come when call.
