Okay I can't take it you cracked me!
I listed the "tricks" because they all "come" usually by bribing though, treats, kissy sounds, a toy, but we have a serious recall issue here...well Elvis never leaves my side as I've noted in other forums I can't take a trip to the bathroom without him accompanying me...Princess will recall as long as Scoober isn't with her.
Despite Scoobers being the most well 'trained'...recall is either a fun game of chase I no longer play with him, or ye just not so much....we've been working on it for like 2 years...and we're at 60% in the yard on a good day...he'll probably never be able to go leash-less simply because of this.
I swear you can see it he catches a scent and before he even thinks he's gone after it...once it was 6 blocks away at the neighbors who have chicken free roaming in their back yard...me chasing with the broken Flexi all the way...he now has a light chain leash double secured.

He can do stay for about a minute before he starts to want to crack but I could probably get him to do a 3 minute stay. If I snap my fingers and say 'sit' he KNOWS he must stay put where he is at. |
