Piper comes when called at home--consistently--inside or out; I use a silly voice when calling her and pet her little noggin and that's it. Now when we're out and about, forget it!! My vet says yorkies are 'bomb-proof' meaning one could set a bomb off next them, but they're so focused they wouldn't even notice! Piper went out an unexpected open gate and my frantic Piper, Piper, Piper, come here, etc., etc., got me zippo. However, I only had to say chicken jerky twice (her absolute favorite in the entire universe--I think I could get her to speak French using that as enticement) and she was at my feet. Geez louise, really, Piper?! Love her sooo, maddening little lamb chop that she is...! |
