Peaches, sounds like she has the same mentality as my pitbull.
yesterday a couple came to meet her and we took her to the ballpark, some dogs in a house nearby had dogs that would NOT stop barking for anything. I guess Izzy thought they wanted to play so she ran about 13 laps around the ball diamond full speed the ZOOM! up and over the fence! a good 6 or 7 ft fence [she more climbed it than anything] Never once even acted like she heard me calling her name, or calling out commands.
She is usually good with recall but I could not for the life of me get her to come on command it was like she zoned out and only had one thing in mind... which is a pitty trait. She ended up jumping the fence that the dogs were in and thank GOODNESS they were nice because they were all playing when I got there. It was the most embarrassing thing ever. I put her on her leash and we went back home with the couple, and she acted fine! Listened, sat for us, let them pet her etc. She is usually great at the ball diamond off leash, as that's the only place she's allowed off leash, but now that I know she can climb a 6-7 ft fence fast than I can run across the field... guess that's not an option!
Maybe try working on more commands with your Pek. Ones that require focus on you. Like Stay. Heel. Down. Use a more stern voice too. Izzy is still learning these. |
