He's on a longline so ive always got controll - but the little bugger refused to come back when there were other dogs to play with! Whistle and calling did nothing! I gave up and went to fetch him.... not sure if that was the right idea but we were running late for school at this point! On the way back he took excpetion to a couple of teenagers chucking rocks into the river (well so did i) and her barked for the first time ever!!!!! He really gave em a good telling off, trouble is its not acceptable behaviour from him (even if i agree with him).

He's sulking too as he' only had a small breakfast, he's off to the groomers soon and i dont want him to be sick or anything if he's scared. She is having some of his food and treats to give him there to make him feel more comfortable.


Oh well onward and upward lol, I'll keep doing what I'm doing in the knowledge that he hasnt forgotton it, he's just being awkward! And that eventually he will grow out of it!

If op is watching this - at least you know your not alone in the kevins

You have just described Oscar to a tee

I am treating it like a phase and just training through it.

He has been off lead up until now but i am considering putting him back on a line so i don't have to start re call training all over again if he loses it completely.

My trainer advised keep them on the line for the same amount of time again as it took them to learn the recall, so if it took 6 weeks keep them on line for another 6 weeks.
