Hi all,
I have a nine month old schipperke who is very reluctant to come.
I've tried many, many different methods of training him including the happy-recall, crying, and bribing. He seems to quickly learn to evade these and I'm literally at the end of my lead.
I have him on a permanent long lead, which isn't very helpful as he's learned to pick it up and run with it, and it's also destructive inside of the house.
We've had less accidents recently, but the dog still refuses to learn the come command.
He understands when he's in the house to come as soon as I call him, he understands when he's outside and I can catch him easily, but otherwise, we're stuck chasing him, which can be very very dangerous.
Can anyone suggest something to get this dog to come?
