There are few questions here that I'd like to answer them in greater details in my future post as I reckon other readers will benefit from them But for now, here is a quick advice on keeping your dog at bay. If your dog is "incapable" of coming to you when called, it would be best she's confined to home until she mastered the "come" command. As I stated above, one way is to make your home escape proof if she's allowed to roam freely at home unsupervised. Then work on the training on "come when called" at home with minumium external distraction. Starts with two feet distant then gradually lengthen the distance as she progresses. You can use either a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smalldogsparadise.com/dog-training-tips/is-clicker-training-sutiable-for-my-dog/">clicker</a> or treat for this type of training. This is always a misconcept on how dog owners view obedience training school as military. Simply put it, dogs process words differ from humans and being firm with our commands doesn't mean we have to raise our voice to get the dog's attention. I hope that helps for now, do come by periodically for more updates on dog training. Hi Sigalit,
