Remember to enforce good behavior.
Remember to enforce the behavior that you want immediately. Don't keep repeating a command over and over...the dog should respond to the first command. This process can be long. A month is certainly not enough, even a year may not be, but you’ll reap rewards for your diligence. But if it’s that simple, why do we have so much trouble getting our dogs to come?

Wanting to throttle him when you finally catch him is a perfectly understandable human reaction. FIGHT IT OFF! Unfortunately, acting on these impulses will set you back even farther – your dog will start to fear you, particularly when you’re angry, and will try to put even more distance between you and him in the future. |
