Not coming when called

also you could try obdience classes. I trained Jenny in 4-H when she was a year old (she's 8 and a half now) and when I say "get in the house" she goes in. she also knows how to sit, stay, and lay down.

Zoomer,

Get her on a retractable lead or a long lead. Call her in a very happy voice and real her in, and give her a treat when she reaches you. Don't say "good girl" until she is at your feet. Only do this 3-4 times at once or else she will get bored.

That hits the nail on the head. to add to it use a hand motion of come for her to recognize also.

Another tactic is with a 20ft leash, Take your dog outside, do not talk to the dog at all. Let her wonder on the leash looking smelling what ever she wants to do. At your convinience start walking, if she doesn't notice you leaving give the leash a good tug to get her attention so she knows that she or he suppose to be by your side at all times. I train this method with my dogs at 4 mos old and is very effective. It will keep your dog by your side at all times when off leash too. Do this excercise every day for 20 minutes until the dog understands and you don't have to pull anymore. Don't limit this to your back yard just start at that point and walk around the nieghborhood doing this.

Another tip that REALLY helped me with Molly:

If she's refusing to come to you, run away making a bunch of exciting racket like, "Georgia, come, let's go!"

Something I have tried before, and seemed to work pretty well. I used a long leash, about 50 feet, and let the dog run freely and then call her, if didnt come right away I would kinda bring her in pulling the lead...
Just an idea, if that made sence! lol
