If all the dogs are in the backyard, YES. They ALL come when I call them. When I tell them to come in, or if they are barking as a pack at the neighbor's dogs and I tell them to quiet and come in, they will 100% of the time come to me. But in strange places its different:
Bjorn I would say is my best off leash dog. If he even hears "Bj..."" he comes running to me. And he never goes more than a few feet ahead of me on hikes,and stops right ahead and waits for me to catch up. He always turns around to make sure I am still there even on leash. Even if he is fixated on something interested he will stop and come to me.
Cartman has proven to be horrible off leash when hiking, but not at the dog park. At the dog park he comes the second that i call him. On hikes, there are just too many interesting smells..and he sees small animals he wants to chase. So I can't trust him off leash on hikes/at the river. he completely ignores me. It doesn't matter if I am screaming his name, and running after him..he still ignores me.
Harry-He plays fetch 24/7, and I can get his attention..but he won't actually come all the way to me unless hes bringing a fetch toy over. And even then, when the fetch toy is in my hands, he runs the opposite direction cause he thinks I am going to throw it. .But I completely trust him off leash.
Peanut-He is okay off leash, unless something is distracting him (Cat, small animal, bug.), And I have to be really, really stern with my voice to get him to come to me. But if nothing is distracting him, he comes right away.
Bob-Hes a very under socialized dog, so when he is outside of the house he is a very timid and anxious dog. So he doesn't go far from me to begin with. Still working on that though.
Daggett-If she is in my mom's room and knows I am going in there to let her out, cause she can't be in there all day (Even though she seems to think that) then she won't come to me. The complete opposite, she will hide from me. But if i am just randomly calling her, she of course will come (especially if she thinks I have food)
Elliot-If he is distracted, it will take a little bit to get him to come..but he will always end up coming.
Charlotte-She has a very good recall, but she is similar to Peanut with the distractions, and Daggett with being in my mom's room and not wanting out.
Jannah-The second worst recall of all my dogs! She will completely ignore me when she is at the park, and inside the house. She just sits there like "What do you want?".
Reese-Similar to Bob..including being under socialized
Lucy-She won't listen to me unless its dinner time. She will completely ignore me if she is under the covers (which is the majority of the day) and when I took her to the dog park she ignored me the entire time...too much smells. Plus she thinks she is a big dog, so was acting tough with them, which was dangerous for her. So her ignoring me over there is NOT a good thing!
