Hi ya,

Im new to the forum but I remember being petrified when I 1st ever let harmony off her lead but I remember that being really early on once she would listen to me and come to me confidently in the garden and house.

However, shes nearly 6 now and we have just bought a new pup and I am pertrified because Marley is also my 1st ever pedigree and cost alot of money.. lol. Also the fact that he just sleeps and doesnt respond to anything doesnt help. lol. However he has only been with us a couple of days and was brought up outside as his parents are full working dogs. To be honest he doesnt seem bothered about us, only Harmony.

Im sure I will be asking for training tips soon to because even though Ive had dogs all my life and trained harmony myself, every pup is different and Marley is the most chewy, hide away dog Ive ever had

Hi ....I went with them today and we let her off the lead and she is so good...when there is no distractions around and we call her she comes back straight away. The only down side is that when she sees a dog she goes running up to them and does not listen to us when we call her at all apart from that she is really good...dont know what to do about when we see other dogs......????? as soon as she spots them no matter how far away she bolts after them ????

See Im having a similar problem but when Harmony was a puppy she was great and wasnt bothered, but in the past few weeks, shes eing a nightmare.

On another note, I started the re-call training with my 7 1/2 week old pup today and after the 1st couple of times he got the idea and was great.
