<p>I am so pleased Harley has settled down. I'm definately going to try this method with Bailey-distractions and all.He ran up to three little girls in the park yesterday,they screamed their heads off this big lollopy red thing hurtling towards them to say hello!. So we definately need to practice at home. Will let you know how we get on. Many thanks Tina and Bailey.</p>

<p>I think it was just the time of year with him ;-) Not long after I posted this, he was back to his usual level of obedience which I must say, was a relief because it really did look like I'd never bothered to train him! </p>
<p></p>
<p>I do vary his walks and routes and we go to new places once in a while too so I try to keep his mental stimulus up. Thankfully, no problem now. They are sent to try us though ;-) :-D.</p>
<p>Thanks again :-).</p>

<p>I agree with Val. When Harley was a pup, he soon figured that just a 'good boy' wasn't enough for him to come back to me!</p>
<p>I found he would do anything for little discs of cooked sausage. I spent a couple of times doing it in the house, then moved out in to the garden and did it a few times, once he was coming back with that, I got my brother to come in to the garden and add a bit of distraction to test if Harley was listening to me with others around.

<p>I found he would do anything for little discs of cooked sausage. I spent a couple of times doing it in the house, then moved out in to the garden and did it a few times, once he was coming back with that, I got my brother to come in to the garden and add a bit of distraction to test if Harley was listening to me with others around. Once he'd got the idea that as soon as he came back, he got a juicy reward and some fuss, it was easy to link up the two once he was out in public. I tried it with him when the park was quiet and in a more enclosed area before introducing allowing him off the lead in an open space. The issue with him wasn't running off, it was the fact he would only come back when he decided he wanted to!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Obviously, tone of voice makes a difference. He has two chances to come back when I call him and say his name in a friendly way, the third time the deep tone of voice comes out and he knows I mean business. 9/10 this works. Very rarely does he ignore me now. A short command of his name coupled with 'here!' works, short, sharp and to the point.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As for his recent running off exploits? It seems it was the time of year and him being full of beans. Not long after I posted this he reverted back to his obedient ways.

<p>Can I suggest first of all change you titbits. Try hot dog sausages, to get a dog to recall it must be worth their while to come back. Stick to a one word command, make it a short word. Start training in the house and garden get your treats throw one bit out about 5 or 6 feet as soon as the dog runs out to pick it up have another treat ready shout the dogs name to get it's attention use your recall command to get the dog to come back.

Do this 6 times a day in 6 different areas, that way the dog learns no matter were it is when you shout it has to come back to you.</p> Hello and sorry for late repl…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-07-25:865021:Comment:11094872013-07-25T11:56:05.196ZBaileys' Page!http://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/TinaDillon

<p> My setter boy Bailey has very good recall he's only 17 months old so hes doing pretty well. But just lately he has started to 'ambush' people and other dogs by running up behind them and making a fuss!. He always comes back and sits by my side waiting for his treat after he's said 'hello' tho!!. I find he is still learning to read other dogs body language and to know they are not all as loopy or playfull as him. Puppies/younger dogs cope with him fine but older or more mature dogs do get fed up,snap at him and they cant get away quick enough!. I've gone back to basics and put him back on an extending lead to practice his recall-only letting him off if the coast is clear or i know the dogs are ok with him. But i do get frustrared because i want to let him run. I've found a vibrating collar helps a great deal but he ignores that too sometimes with his enthusiasm to run and play!. I hope this helps. You are not alone!. Regards Tina</p> Julia I was just reading thro…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-07-03:865021:Comment:11050912013-07-03T20:39:58.143ZOssianhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/Ossian

<p>I understand your frustration. Though mine are pups still it's like they mind one day and not the next. I have purchased a 100ft length of parachute cord and tied a small loop in one end to make a pull through collar, the other is tied around my waist, length can be adjusted and the excess cord will store in a small pocket. Let the training and review begin, again. Some days they have the attention span of a gnat!</p>

<p>I wonder if Barkley will still want to beat Finnigan up. He has a Tamaskan 'friend' and always pins him to the floor when they first get together, and then they are quite happy to race around together after that.</p>

<p>I believe Finnigan introduced himself to Chunk Rottweiler Short (his facebook name) up in the woods one weekend? If it wasn't Finnigan then there is another Red up there who likes to visit other dogs lol. Will love to meet up for walkies again, Will text you to arrange something. Health up and down at the moment, and Tallulah is still doing quite well, although like me - she has her days.</p>
