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. |
Of course she is very young and has had no formal training. I used to think
come is the most important command but STAY really is. If you see her across the street or somewhere she should not be STAY is going to save her
life. Good Luck
