 Does your dog come when called?????
I never had a large dog that didn't come when I called it.
And, I have never had a small dog that does come when it's called --- unless, it wants to, of course.
I finally resorted to "treats" to get my two other small dogs to come in from outside. But, this worked only if they wanted the treat more than they wanted to stay outside. And, believe me - they often wanted to stay outside more than they wanted any treat.
I'm working with a whistle on my two dogs now.......and, of course, they get a treat if they come (we have just started).
My Yorkie pup who can hear like nothing I have ever seen before - can even hear me pick up the whistle and is right there for his treat. (You know that little pea - that is in some whistles - he hears that if it barely moves.)
