Im in a bad mood and kalas been a naughty girl!!

kalas recall has always been fantastic but over the past couple of weeks she is having selective hearing!! She is also getting terrible with other dogs for chasing them, she thinks she is just playing but the owners arent very happy when she pounces on them!!

Ed and I have had an argument cos ed is too soft with her and she has him wrapped around her little paws!!!

Also first day of my 3 day break from work and ive had 5 calls only things that I could sort out so im not a happy bunny today!!!!

oooooh dear me ... naughty kala ...

shes just testing you hun ..... you'll soon sort that out ... freds hearing has got selective just lately ... maybe its the weather

Must be the time of year

get her on a longline jude , if she don't come when called give her a quick check ,i know how easy it is to be soft with them but what happens if she ever slipped her lead and saw another dog at the other side of the road

She is always on her dogmatic with a training lead when walking near roads Sue so we are doubly careful. They are only ever off lead where theres no roads nearby. Im going back to basics with her, and i do blame Ed totally!!!! I saw she was interested in the black lab and i told ed to put her on her lead til we got past but no i was told i was paranoid!! he didnt get the words out of his mouth when she went chasing after it and totally ignored my call, she has never done that before!! the thing is she is clever and she knew she had done wrong when she eventually came back.

you are not by yourself mindy refused to come back to me the other day cos she thought i was going to take her ball , luckily we were on a field , i called her and she just stood there with the finger up, so i walked away and left her she came running up to me and i was saying to her p**s off i don't want you , her face was a picture after about 10 minutes of walking round trying to lose her a turned and called her she came flying to me , shes so sensitive all night she was coming for a cuddle like she was saying do you still love me mum

awww bless her ...

Kala you naughty girl

Keira is the same shes normally a really good girl but has a very stubborn streak If we see other dogs we always put her back onlead because sometimes she just wont come back on recall

She can be a little madam and yes its our own fault

We tend to tollerate more bad behaviour from her and concentrate more on Mickeys bad behaviour around other dogs

Shes a little bugger for not bringing the ball back aswell

How old is she now Jude? She might be having like a teenage rebelling streak. I think going back to basics will help. Vivas recall got really good then she did a runner one day, my trainer said to go back to total basics and almost retrain the recall, touch wood I think her recall is alot better and solid this time round. Hope you feel in better mood soon

She was 2 in May Steffie and I think she is seeing how far she can push the boundaries!!

How ya feeling today hunni I would go back to basics and like you say she's testing ya. Caius has been a sod recently when walking to heel so I'm currently using a harness which is working wonders for us.

Long lines are great I use one with Caius.He pulls like mad to get to other dogs but with the long line attached and me changing direction he is coming to his senses more and leaving the other dogs. We all need back to basics at times - I do it regularily with the kids home ed. Its tedious but worth it

Im fine today thanks hun little madam came to me everytime i called her but there were no distractions really. the problem with chasing dogs is the only fault i have with her, i think she just wants to play but its the fact she growls that other owners think she is being aggresive and she isnt if she has her ball in her mouth she pushes it against the other dog but she does this to marley when she wants to play.

Tess can be a little so and so when it comes to re-call when she has her ball, so i tend to tell her to go away and she normaly comes back to me.

I think they do try to push their luck.

They deff do Zara is the worst one out of my bunch once she is out in the park she just plods along where she wants to go but if i run away from her she is back like a shot...lol

Storm well when she see another dog she is off so i have gone back to basics with her and have just got calming signal by Turid Rugaas so about to start reading that.

Naughty Kala, she maybe pushing her bounderies Judes but as you say it has to stop..
I wish I had got Tilly under proper control when she started chasing dogs then maybe she would be ok off lead today.

But Kala knows your call means 'come back',

I never trained Tilly properly in the first place
good luck on taking her back to basics.... and good luck with Ed too your probably gonna have trouble re-training him
