I know what the big problems are. The post woman gives the dogs treats everytime she delivers the mail, so in a sense my dog is rewarded everytime that she runs up to the gate from her. I told her not to, but the damage might have already been done because she still treats the neighbor's dog who we share the yard with. So when she sees the neighbor's dog run up to the gate and get the treats she will want to do even though she's not allowed in that area so she will do anything to get it. There are also kids on the other side. So when they pet her or if she is given a treat then that's training her in the other direction. My dog is 6 months old so I think age has alot to do with it to. I do work with her and she does know the come command, sometimes she just doesn't listen to me though.
oh yeah, and NOT all dogs are exactly the same in their behaviors.
