Patterdale Terrier

[cmwalkeaze9 0]

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.

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.

Put it on its lead way before you get back to your car so it hasn't got the option to take the piss, it'll be to late by the time you get to it and she knows whats going on.

Get some cur dog from the shelter and let it run with her.Then call back the cur dog(it wont come because it does not know you).Then shoot the cur dog and say to your pat you are next if you ever ignore me again.Works every time.

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 back without any problems at all, then she will go through a period of not listening, any tips on how to be more strict with her, the other thing is i only ever whistle to her, or the other dogs, as she seems to run away if alot of noise.

not putting you down at all but i have never had this problem and i can only think its down to who thinks who is the boss!!

I have always let my terriers know from the start i am the boss and sometimes with a few of mine that can mean a good crack of the whip to the asse just to remind them.

i would forget the treats myself as your dog is 2 year old and still not steady i would go back to the basics,

put it on a long rope and let it run, call it and if it doesn't stop and come back i would drag it back show her who is boss and keep doing it until she understands.

trust me she will soon learn.

i know it sounds harsh but you do really need to nip it the bud now or you will always have this problem with her.
