Lisa 130 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Just recently Hawk decided when I take him out at night for a potty run that he isn't ready to come in when I want him too. This is when he turns a "deaf ear" Last night or should I say morning (2 a.m.) he needed to go out. He proceed to spend the next 10 min. ignoring my demands to come in. I finally had to trick him into coming to me by saying we were going for a "walk"! What a pill!!! I think next time I will put him on his leach and walk out in the yard with him and not give him the opportunity to ignor me. Lisa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corrine 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Lisa, We use the leash quite a bit to avoid this "not coming" when called. We use this primarily to take him to the "designated elimination spot!" They can be such stinkers sometimes. I have used the "kibble bowl shake" to get Jake back in the house.

Allison 2,369 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Here is my recommendation: Do not call more than once or twice. The more you call, the more opportunities they have to ignore you. At night, when Coyo does not want to come back in, I pull out the flashlight. It is clearly a game, we both know the rules...but it works every time. He chases it right back inside. It is a ritual, that he enjoys, and so do I. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
