Coco is very much like that. I have a special whistle I use to call her. Not a dog whistle but a make a unique song in whistle. She always comes when I do it. Maybe she is curious with the whistel sound. If she is on the patio and out of site she will come to my view when I do it. I don't know if it would work if she got lose though. Wouldn't trust her to try. As far as the running away when you bend to pet her , Coco did that too. I think it was because I would ALWAYS pick her up when I came towards her and she must not have always wanted that. I am trying to gain her trust by not picking her up. Now I bend down and say "pet" and she seems to stay and let me pet her. Then I don't pick her up. I let her run away and I repeat. Now she comes for a pet without running when I use the word. |
