Of course running is going to be fun to a dog, and now that he knows he gets spanked when he is going to get picked up, why would he ever wanna come back to you? |
We have been working on the "come here" command. Bella still makes a note about it and makes a decision later. They are so cat like. Gotta love them for that. And yes after the running incident I have gotten sterner with him. Using treats for coming to me lots of praise.
