I'm sure Archie knows his name but is choosing to ignore it. H emight be ignoring it because you do say his name so often. Maybe try making him answering to his name special! Give him a treat or praise him every time you say his name and he comes to you. If you have someone you could practice with, this is good too...plus he'll get a bit of exercies runnning aback and forth between the two of you. This is how my husband and I taught Tia her name (although there are many days it seems she needs a refresher lesson!) |
