Teddy is great, but I have to admit that Max likes to play hard to get. He will come, but stands just far enough away to still have things on his terms. We established a place that he has to come to -- a doggy bed in the kitchen. I used the bed to carry him to my bedroom at night and called it "the boat." So when I want Max to come, I say "get in the boat."  Strange, but it works.
Try designating a little carpet mat or something else so your pup knows the spot. Practice come and sit on the mat with yummy rewards. |
Well she is a hard head little one. she will come so far and stop just like ur little one does. I never thought of using a mat or something to get her to come on. but part of me don't think that going to work either. but till I try it we will never know what will work or not.
