My black un never comes off a lead mate. His desire to get in the nearest hole is far greater then his desire to listen to me shouting and screaming.

And I wouldnt want him any other way. Once they go to ground mate your asking for trouble leaving him running loose.

Mine was a f****r for this.

 

Positive reinforcement helped. So really really really making a fuss of him when he finally comes back, ignore him when he doesn't, walk away and hide.

 

Takes some patience and persistence and a hell of a lot of time.
