My pup is about 7 months and still wont 'come' on command. It would be lovely to eventually be able to walk him off his lead and know he'll come back but at the moment getting him back in the house safely is more of a concern. He's a bit of an escape artist. We've got the back garden secure but if we've had visitors/postie etc and they've left the front gate open then the kids open the door he gets out and runs ip the road. If I go after him he runs further and thinks it's a game. He wont come but knows his name and just looks at me. All I can do is stand and look and wait till he decides to come home. I'm terrified he's going to get hit by a car while I watch. Also these escapes always seem to happen minutes befor I leave for work or a school run :(
Any advice?
On a seperate note. Does clicker training work for training a dog to sit, stay etc?
