Recall

[cymruguy69 5]

My pup Flash is 5 Months now and still very puppyish.

 

Iv'e done basic training she knows sit and lay down and get in the box and so on but I'm having real trouble with recall.

 

When she's off the lead in the garden she'l play all day. when I call her to me she'l either just look or run around when I aproach her she goes down on her front then barks and runs away as if teasing.

 

Naturally Il walk away she'l come close again but won't let me near enough to get hold of her!!

 

This can be very annoying at times but Iv'e never punished her for this!!

 

if any one could give me some advice this would be brilliant.

 

Thanks

i disagree terrier man at five months old the pup should be coming back .. ...the next time you are in the garden with her sit down and ignore her make sure you have some sort of treat with you in your pocket she will come up to you after a while because she getting no attention when she does ..and she will ...give her a treat a praise her but dont try to put her on a alead .do this athree or four times a day ..no more or she will get board.... after doing this for a couple of days sit there again and ignore her for a bit then call her when she comes give her another treat..but do not put the lead on her... .if you put the lead on her she will think play time is over.. after she starts coming to you when you have called her after another couple of days start putting the lead on her for a couple of mins and then take it back of so she can play again..do this every day for a week or two at the most and you wont have a problem again.....theres nothing worse than a dog that wont come back ....if this doesnt work i will plat shit..good luck mate a bit of pataince is all thats needed its worth it in the end ..no fooker wants a dog that wont come back ...all the best .....
