So Alice and I have been working on the come command. On the lead in the backyard, for the most part she is coming very consistantly when I say "Alice come" there are times when she is looking at something else and ignores me but as soon as she feels that first little pull on the leash she comes (sometimes she is not to happy about it, she has a total put out look). We are going to keep on doing this in the backyard and next week I am going to take her to the park and work on it there in new surroundings. I hope we keep moving forward, this command is so important for her to know!!
I still do that, it has become our little game and it's fun LOL. The other day I forgot to call her and she ran up and gave me the look like "what's up??", I think she waits for me to call her just so she can run,,,,,,,silly girl!!
I am so going to have to work with Abby on this more. Recently when she is busy studying something in the backyard she goes totally deaf unless I yell CHEESE out the back door. Heifer.
that;s pretty funny!!
I think that Max & Abby are related. TREAT usually works with Max. But sometimes he will come up to me, grab the treat and run
Oh no Jen, I make Abby come in the house and go stand in front of the fridge before she gets her treat.
Good for you ! Max is not that good
Purchase the book!
