  • Why Doesn’t Your Dog Come When Called?
    Jun 23 2024

    Join host Michele Forto as she discusses why dog's don't come when called.

    It’s always useful to understand why your dog is exhibiting a certain behavior. For many, it’s down to a lack of training, which you’ll soon learn how to rectify.

    However, for other dogs, it could be due to fear or apprehensiveness. They’re worried about being punished, especially if your tone of voice is even just slightly angry or annoyed. For some dogs, it could simply be that they’re having so much fun and really don’t want playtime to be over. They know that if they come over to you, then chances are that the fun and games will stop.
