At the park, time to go home, get in the buggy etc.
I call Ds.. "Come on then, time to go home"
Ds - NO mama - then runs in the opposite direction
Me - Ohh look Ds, I have a lollipop (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, regardless he shouts back NO and keeps running away )
So, I end up chasing him, picking him up/or making him walk (which is hard, because he makes himself go limp!) back to the buggy.
Any ideas how to stop him running away like this?
Walked around the corner to my friends' with him earlier, no roads so ok, but he ran off into someone's garden, I got him out and said "Ohh, you're a naughty little boy" ...and old lady heard me, and said "Why is he naughty?" I explained he kept running away & wasn't listening, she said "But that's not naughty, he's a child not a dog!"
I said "Yes, he's my child" and walked away.
