1. If she gets away from you before you have taught her recall, TRY RUNNING FROM HER see if she chases you. You can also clap your hands, squat down and pretend that you have found a goodie in the grass, like you are digging, this may make her come to check it out. 2. Make Teaching her to come must be your number one priority ! Choose a area free of distractions. I use a long hall. Put a leash on her halter. Yorkies have fragile necks so don't use a collar and leash. Use really good, tiny rice sized treats ( I use real boiled chicken) Sit on floor and say in a happy voice Name of Dog -- Come. If they don't start to come give a tiny tug on the leash. You may have to gently pull them to you at first. As soon as they touch your hand give them a treat and praise GOOD COME ! in your happy voice. It is important for them to touch your hand. Because many dogs want to grab the treat and dash away or stay just out of reach. Also by touching your hand, you can lightly hold them by the halter and also teach them sit at a later lesson. NEVER CALL YOUR PUPPY TO YOU TO PUNISH OR SCOLD HIM.Coming should always be rewarded (later by pets and praise will be enough). Perfect recall just takes practice. Hope this helps.
