So, Dpup is 8 mths old and confined to barracks (first season).
She's done well at obedience class so can now, even without treats, sit, come to heel, do a finish, down, stay and walk to heel (though her obedience is much more immediate with a treat in hand - helps her focus ).
When we go back to obedience the trainer has said we should give the advanced class a try.
I'm trying to work on her recall. In the park, where I walk her off lead, her recall is very good, but she does get side tracked when there's another dog to play with. Bearing in mind a recent thread on here, I want to get her better.
I have a whistle and she responds to that. However if she's focused on another dog and heading their way the whistle won't always work.
In the garden yesterday I had my son playing football with her. The whistle wasn't really effective. She heard it, looked at me, then carried on with the ball. I had some high value treats (hot dog sausages) on me too.
Is there any other way I can approach this? She'll come immediately to the whistle if she's mooching around.
Any tips gratefully received.
