Ok, Apollo does really well with his come command on his long line... you've seen the videos.  However, sometimes Apollo like to "escape" out the back door when we go outside.  We don't have a fenced in yard ( we are actually waiting for approval from the Home Owner's Association... as soon as we get apporoved Brad has promised to fence in the back yard.)  Anyway, when Apollo "escapes"  I can call the "come" command to Apollo and he'll come to me, but when Brad calls the "come" command Apollo ignores him.  Is it because I am the one who works with him?  Brad will yell from outside "Honey!  Tell Apollo to come."  I'll step out the door and say "Apollo, come."  He comes to me right away.  Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks sooooo much!  Oh and let me know if you need to know any additional info!

Oh, that's a good one, Tracey!  Lucy and Dar know that unless I say "ok" when the door is open, they dont go out it.  I can prop the front door open to bring several loads of groceries, for example, into the house, and they will stand there, with their toenails on the threshold looking and begging with their eyes, but wont go out until they get the "ok".  I dont think I know how that happened, though, because I dont remember actually teaching that to Lucy.  Guess Dar taught it to her---whatever, I'm glad they do it.

Thanks Tracey and Paul.  And I'll start working with them to not bolt out in the first place.
