Max is an adult and still sort of like Milo. He will come, but stand off a few feet to try to determine what I want him for. I crouch down and coax him to come to me. No matter what I want him for, I start with a little petting and loving.
Teddy is a good boy and comes to me no matter what. |
That a good one Kristin . . Mine come to me on command about 98% of the time. But for some reason when the kids or DHs call Ruby she goes into Stewart from Saturday Night Live mode. "
I don't wanna" It is the funnies thing to watch. She takes her good old sweet time getting to them a few inches at a time and usefully will end up flat on her back about three or four times before getting to them. Or if its Quincy and he sees the grooming kit her runs for his bed and I have to coast him out.
There are some techniques that I use to train my pups that may help you with your pup. You can find them on my web site at:
