Absolutely no recall, or selective hearing  (13 Posts)
permaquandry Tue 24-Sep-13 21:25:37  PermaPup (12 months) been
pretty much a nightmare since first outing. Did training
classes, responded quite well to recall. In an outside setting
(somewhere safe) just continually ignored or ran off.  Decided
to buy an extending lead and carried on with the training (call,
then treat etc).  Have been taking PP to an enclosed space far
away from roads using a ball to chase and treats. All fairly
successful but have still been very cautious as 1 time out of 5
will just ignore and run off.  Today doing more training, PP
looked at me, ignored my calls, ran into woods. Cue me chasing,
calling, cajoling, luring with treats, turning in other
direction. PP carried on running around/running off and ran so
far that we came across the edge of a dual carriageway! I let
out a guttural noise through sheer panic, PP actually stopped
and I managed to grab and put lead back on (thank god).  I lost
most of my possessions in the chase ha
