I don't think they think this is a game at all. They know you want them to come to you for a particular reason and they may not like what you are intending to do. As an example, my Chloe loves being upstairs with me, when its time to go back down, she backs away or runs, she simply doesn't want to go downstairs. She is not allowed up there unless she goes with me. I am working with her daily to correct this behavior. I want her to learn that no matter what I intend to do she needs to follow my commands even when it is contrary to what she wants. We have just passed the point when she was winning all the time.
