woodys mum 5 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The one thing u can try as well is tidbits, e.g. treats, meat etc, dont shout at the dog even though u feel like killing him, praise him when he does come back and feed him a treat, he will associate recall with something nice to return to, and everybodys right, he will grow out of it. on the subject of male/female, does any one else find male dogs easier to get clean day and night then bitches, dont know if its a co-oincidence but always find dogs a lot cleaner earlier then bitches, especially at night.
