It always works. My neighbors think I am a moron, but my dog is safe. |
LOL I've been guilty of doing that with my Eskie when she was younger. It took her FOREVER to catch on to the come command! Sometimes we would resort to sending our Sheltie after her. He would catch up to her and sit on her until we could get to her!
She eventually learned and has turned into a really good girl!
BTW, we always use hand signals, too, so that even if you don't say the word come, they see the signal and know what to do.
