thank you, will try that.

in my experience patterdales will take the piss out of you if they do not respect you, took a while to get through to mine, think of it this way;- she will go with you on the walk because she enjoys it, when it comes to going home she doesnt see you as pack leader + shes having too much fun to listen to a silly old dog walker yelling at her, way more fun to be had mock hunting. be strict with her. I have had her since a puppy and it has taken a lot of training to get to the stage we are at, she is a lot better than she used to be, also she goes through phases, sometimes she comes bac

Please could anyone give me some advice on patterdale recall. I have a two year old, female pat called keira, she is great in every aspect other than returning at the end of a walk. I am a dog walker, so she is out all day in woodland, she will come to me most of the time throughout the walk(s), until the end, then it's almost like she knows its time to go home and will avoid me. I do eventually always get her back, but this can sometimes take quite a time. I always carry treats or she would not come back at all. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
