We have been working with Rosie with positive reinforcement from coming when called. She had gotten very bad at this in a variety of ways. Positive reinforcement works WONDERS!
We call her and when she comes, she gets a treat and lots of petting and love. Next time, she comes quicker. More of the same. Etc. Etc. Now you have her attention for other training as well. She is pretty hard headed so we need to use as many tools for training as we can.
We also started using a nose collar which allows Kiera to take her out of the yard for walks.
