great reply Mickey
Totally agree, allow the pup to be a pup and don't set the dog up to fail, if she is busy exploring wait until she has finished that and lost interest and then call her in with you walking in the opposite way works everytime whilst they are this age, or you could also use the method the about turn, it entails you blowing the recall whistle, running off in the opposite direction without any noise and so on, show no interest in the dog, when the dog has caught you up you sharply turn again (the about turn) then sink down low with loads of fuss as the pup will be itching t
