It always works. My neighbors think I am a moron, but my dog is safe. |
Hilarious!!
Thor is very good as sitting, and staying until I tell him to come. The problems is when he is in the backyard and he gets on a barkikng tanjent or if he were to get out of the frontdoor he is gone, and will come when he feels like it. We live on a huge park and I really like the idea of having someone hold him and then me calling him. Thanks for the advise. I am going to read up on clicker training, so thanks also for those stories. I do agree that 'coming' is the most important, for safety reasons. Also it is important to remeber to always reward them when they come, becuase sometimes when Thor finally comes in from the backyard after barking his head off I just want to screaaaaaaam!! Hopefully I can teach my dog to come. SOmetimes I think he is such a bullhead but then I remember...it's more likely me!
Oh and please share more stories...I am very interested! Thanks
