My 1 year old (which I have had for two weeks) is only personable when she wants to be. She will not come to you to simply pet or sit in my lap when called. However, she will jump on the chair in which you sit when she wants to. When I let her out to potty, she takes 10-15 minutes to sniff around and wander. While she is outside, I've noticed she is wandering too close to the highway. When I call her by name, she simply looks at me. When I start walking towards her and she hears my voice call her name sternly, she begins to run down the road.
What can I do to prevent her from stepping back when I pet her and to come when I call her name? Thanks for sharing your expertise.
