Behavior, Housebreaking, Obedience / Help to get her to COME when around distractions...
« on: June 06, 2007, 01:36:19 pm »
Hey everyone!
I was hoping to find a solution or some help in figuring out what to do to get her to come when I call her! She's a Special Skills Service dog and she is actually very well trained, but she's also is only a year and a half old.. and a people/dog loving lab.
We have a "play-date" every morning where we meet other dogs and their owners who come to the park that is right across the parking lot from my appartment. There are usually at least 5-10+ dogs and with them, several owners.
We decided that it was unfair for Luna to try to play with all those off leash dogs while she's on her 6-foot leash... And I really need a way to get her to get rid of some energy and play.
The only problem I have with her is that when she gets going, she doesn't come back until SHE wants to. I try to yell "LUNA COME!!!" and stuff but I have a feeling that she can't hear me well enough and that she is too excited.
I bought a dog whistle today.. I really wish and hope and pray that I will be able to get her to listen to that. It's not like I can run after her or anything!
Can anyone help..
Any suggestions?
