Come - No Come

It sure makes you wonder when Taz comes to you perfectly fine indoors - but the minute you are outside, he runs the other way doing his own thing.

You've tried treats. You've tried toys. You have tried every form of bribery. Constantly you guard the door and yell: "Don't let the dog out!"

Here is something that makes all the difference.

Get a training lead which is several feet long. Discretely step on part of it until Taz calms down. Speaking with authority (not yelling) say, "Come here" or your word of choice. If he does not do it immediately, pull him to you. Without the physical reinforcement, the word means nothing.

It won't take very long before you begin to see some improvement in Taz' behavior.

Now remember, Taz, "come" means "come!"
