What do you fo when your dog doesnt come to you when called

lately, i've been having problems with getting my dog to come to me when called. if he doesnt come, i dont get angry at him i just approach him slowly and casually to get him but then he suddenly runs away watching me from the corner of his eye. i was furious because he always came when called at home and suddenly he decided to ignore me. then, i would try luring him with treats but he doesnt come either. i javent tried using his favourite toy but do you think it would work?

what did you used to do when your dog didnt come when you called him? how did you solve it?

thanks

i'm in desperete need of some help

Hi Fugi

I too teach K9 obedience classes, and have obtained obedience titles on dogs, and Agility titles. For many dogs Agility is exciting and fun...running and jumping...it resembles running free in the woods, or pastures. The freedom only lasts at most...a minute...then it's time to put the leash back on and leave the ring. So how do we accomplish this? Why don't the dogs continue to run around?

First of all we make having the leash on a really fun rewarding experience. You make it a game. Start with dog already on leash, practice obedience routines & reward big time with lots of tiny treats, given rapidly one at at time. If your dog knows any tricks...ask for on leash performance, reward. Practice leash comes off...nothing happens you act neutral, leash goes on...treat and happy time.
