training tips needed

[hotdog 8]

hi all, my five month old lurcher pup has been a real pleasure to have around she has always been very layed back and wants to be in my company, all her basic training has been quite text book but for some reason all of a sudden she seems to be having selective hearing when i recall her. if i walk the opposite way from her she will follow but still isnt coming to heal. any ideas what i should be doing?

the first 6 months they are like sponges and take it all in.......... then training tends to slow...and deaf ears are common!!!!! I supose you can liken it to dog adolesence.

 

 

They never forget what you teach them in their first 6 months and come good usually after a month or so...dont loose patients and keep drilling in the commands......if she dont do as she told...walk her on a lead for 2 nights...she soon get pissed off and learn to do as she's told

Its just her age, from now till say 14months old they will try it on. Just go back to basic training

for a week, and do your recall a small area. Once it knows it carnt get away with it, then you

are back on track

Keep making it all fun, ie big fuss when it comes back, so that returning to call is a pleasure. Make sure you call and send away not just call and put on the lead.
