Real progress! Keep it up and you'll have a dog that comes 99.9% of the time and the other 1% you just get his attention back onto you and off the cat in the next yard or the dog trotting by and he will come. Sometimes I even lie down or turn my back and crouch down to get his attention or make him wonder what I'm up to or say "Treat Time!" and he comes running. I haven't had to go out and round up Tibbe for years. But he gets his little kibble treat for sure once we get inside.
