Our 7 month pup won't come back once he catches scent of another dog, the other night he crossed 2 roads and well out of sight to get to a bitch, only today exact same problem on 2 occasions. He's not aggressive and is only curious but cause of his size, 35kg+ at a guess, I'm worried he knocks over an older person or a kid. What is the best way to get him to listen to us at all times.
Hi @Hillbagger Keep him on a lead or long line until the recall is rock solid. https://www.thelabradorsite.com/dog-recall/ Take him and yourself to a positive reinforcement dog obedience class.
Hi @Hillbagger, we did what @Michael A Brooks said...it was hard work for both of us. It took a year of KC Obedience classes but she is perfect and solid now
Thanks for the reply, I've ordered a 10m long line, whistle, food bag, will try and get to an obedience class with him.
