Do u chase your dog?? Does anyone else have to chase their dog to hold it? Zoey is 5 months old and still wont come to her name unless you are holding a cookie. We are at a loss. I know I give more kisses than Zoey would like...but I never scold her or anything when I am holding her.She will sit and lay down for a "treat" but she runs when I go to pick her up? Is it just mine?? |
She's a puppy! She wants to run around! :) She'll probably calm down and cuddle up more when she gets a bit older. Enjoy her a wild and crazy puppy while you can! |
with the attitude mine has, you dont get to hold her unless it is her idea.. haha |
mine will come to me and turn around for me to pick them up |
Hoku 'tolerates' being loved on but Kalani is always at my feet waiting to be picked up:) Maybe yours thinks it's a game to have you chase her down - these puppies do LOVE to play games - LOL! |
You're definately NOT ALONE!!! My Tobi only "comes" to me when I have a treat in my hand or he thinks I have a treat in my hand. I know we have to work on that with him..but he's around your fur babys age too (5 months). When I talked to our trainer about this dilemma, she said that we have to practice with them when they are on a leash somewhere with distractions (like at a park). The trainer also said try using a longer leash (maybe tie two together) and use that as practice so that they'll become more voice controlled. I hope this helps! |
i chase mocha down when i have to pick her up to go inside. she loves the outdoors. otherwise, she only comes willingly (without a treat) into my arms if she's afraid of something or embarrassed. :rolleyes: |
Puppies are just a bundle of energy, and can't sit still for more then a second. |
Peaches was like that as well when she was a puppy... it had me worried also,. But she grew out of it and is a little love bug... She will play when I provoke her to play but when I want lovins she is all about it. :D |
Cali is trained to turn around when I say Momma pick you up, but Pixie I have to chase down. |
I'm working on "Come" command. I have 2 version for Momiji, one is "come" and this is when I'm serious and I ALWAYS have treat with me. Hoping that the word "come" associate with pleasant memory. The other word I use is "Oide" which is "come' in Japanese. This one I use a lot. Most of the time, she think I'm playing so she comes to me close but not close enough to catch her. But if I add the word "kire-kire" it means brushing time (in baby language, or maybe my language, I don't know...) then she knows what it means and she doesn't like it... She will come but it will take about 5 minutes for her to actually be on my lap!!! LOL She takes a lot of detour.... But she knows that she doesn't have a choice but come to me when I have to brush her. |
Wobie does this too. He'll beg for attention, and when you reach down to pick him up...he'll jump or run out of reach! Grrr! :D I don't chase him though, because I don't want him to think its any more of a game than he already does. |
Molly is almost 5 mos and has been doing this lately. I've taken to leaving her harness and leash on her. She's a little easier to catch that way. I can at least step on the leash as she whizzes by. It may jerk her feet out from under her...but she stops. Then I make her sit, tell her good girl and pick her up. I'm hoping it's truly a puppy stage. I want a cuddly puppy!! Carla |
They're terriers, so the more you chase them, the more they love it! It's like a game to them:laugh: Make your baby come to you;) |
Jake is very cuddly and affectionate most of the time, but he has moments when he just wants to play. Some puppies don't like being cuddled unless it's on their terms, they're too busy running around and playing lol Edited to add: Maybe Zoey thinks the chasing is a game? |
hahaha! sounds like the typical yorkie! naughty... :D Daisy def knows her name..I think you just have to constantly say it and eventually she'll catch on. Call her name in a high pitch voice and maybe acted excited about it too. "Zoey, come here...Zoey!.." I think they DO think it's a game when you go and try to pick them up..it's a puppy thing..hehe |
Mine is six, and I have to give her a treat to get her to come to me to take out to go potty before bed! By now, I think she just expects it, but she has a definite mind of her own! She does not come when she is called, and we have worked and worked on it. She may try to jump up on the chair, but if she doesn't make it, and I lean over to pick her up, she backs away! I have never scolded her. I praise her all the time, and I give her lots of love, but she does what she pleases. She is potty trained and she will sit, roll over, play dead, dance, and shake hands.:) |
Bella usually comes to me. I have a plastic ex pen outside for her to play in. I had planned on buying another one to make it bigger for her but my sil's bil -l- gave us one. (I knew he liked her! ;) he still calls her musky bait tho:( ) Anyways, the other night and this morning, she got the zoomies and just ran circles around me. Took forever to catch her and this morning, I was almost late to work. The naughty lil girl. :rolleyes: |

4 Attachment(s) I only got Tammy last October, she has just turned 4. She comes to me fine, but not when it's pee pee time ! Tara and Casper come and are waiting at the door, but Tammy takes off, and I have to chase her....she either hides behind my hubby or skunks flat on the floor or on as chair and goes all CHEESEY, and shows me her belly and cheesey face, while lying as flat and inconspicuous on her side as she can ! It's quiet funny, so I crawl up to her asking her if she is cheesey, and she gets even more silly ! Haven't got a pic....will get one - but you can see it a bit in the pics below. I have no idea why asking her if she wants out to do her toilet has this effect - I am dumbfoundled ! :animal-pa Debra x x x 123 Skunking pics of Tammy 4 Tammy as she is normally. |
My Ava (7 months old) will not come when called. It doesn't matter how much I try to bribe her to come. I have learned a trick. Since we are starting puppy training classes in a few weeks, I have been practicing the sit command with a clicker and treat. If I am wanting her to come to me, all I have to say is "sit" to my other dog and say good boy. She thinks he is getting treats and will immediately stop whatever she is doing and come running. |
YES INDEED..my Sissy did that..I taught her to sit. so now I say sit and she does and I get to pick her up.. Good Luck |
As you can tell, you're NOT alone. Coby is also 5 months old, and we're working on it!! I use the leash in the house technique too. I also VERY RANDOMLY use the come comand, not just when we're playing or training. I'll just get a treat and yell "Coby Come". He's learning that he'd probably better come just to see if I have a treat. I like the two leashes tied together that was in a previous reply. I'm going to try that. I have heard that you should never chase your Yorkie in play. Because then when you want him, he'll think of the game. So we don't ever chase. We do let him chase us however! I'd LOVE to read more ideas to get the Yorkies to be more dependable with the Come Command!! My daughter lives in Chicago - a very dog-friendly city (lucky her)! The other day, she passed a lady just coming out of the Walgreens on Michigan Avenue with a Yorkie at each heel. Then she realized they were OFF LEASH!! Walking in the store and down a crowded Michigan Avenue off leash........ oh to dream!!!!!!! |
You're definitely not alone. Toby does that too. He's almost 6 mos now and has done that from the start. The only time he won't run from me when I try to pick him up is when he is sleepy or when we are working on the come command and I have a treat in my hand. The way I see it is that he thinks I am trying to play with him. He sees it as playing and loves me chasing him all around the house trying to get him. And sometimes I will make it a game and he loves it! I reminds me of playing tag as a child. :) |
