recall training
Hi
I had this problem with my dane. I used a 30 ft training lead left attached to harness then if he didnt come back pull him in telling him to come until he knew what I wanted, every now a then I would step on the lead so that he had to "stop", at the same time telling him to stop. If he went off at a great rate of knots I would call him walk in the opposite direction and keep shouting "Zak this way" in a happy voice then he would eventually follow. Lots of praise and a treat when he did as he was told. Now I only call him in to have his lead on to go home, but use "this way" to let him now which direction he needs to come, (this way hes always coming towards me and hes obeying a command without really knowing it) when he gets near use your normal command to call him to you. Tokk about 6 weeks but now hes a dream
Hope this helps
Lyn
