PLEASE don't use the shocker collar!

Here's what we learned in our puppy class, in the house, attach a leash to a harness, stand a few feet away, say 'come' and pull him towards you, reward with a treat, and make a HUGE hoopla about it 'good boy etc' keep doing that until he learns the word in connection to the command. My husband and I stood on opposite ends about 4-5 feet apart, with treat in hand said come back and forth. She learned it.

Don't give up though, Zoe is a stubborn girl with a mind of her own and is also sweet at the same time. They just need constant reinforcment. If he food motivated, it should be no trouble to teach him commands. Your enrollment in puppy class will also help ALOT. GOOD LUCK
