I must say ive got it the last 7 days fer was running and playing with her friend nova
a 5yr old lab bitch she came back every time i called her and gave her and nova a piece
of cheese
But today a chap came into the park and she ran away with him and his dogs
BUT I WILL PERSIST LOL

thats Deerhounds for you, the other dog was new and she thought he had come into the park just to see her! They seem to do what they please and not what you want!! keep persevering, perhaps one day our Murph might just do as he is told!

Ours are the same answer perfectly one day then the next just give you a look as if to say who me you must be joking im off

Murray has always been very good with his recall and Carys devil pup is also getting much better tempted by pieces of cheese

Farnorth - are you getting ready to celebrate a birthday?

Whats recall ? Is it a command, a question, or a plea ? or perhaps it's when your Dear Deerhound plays a game of Lets pretend to be deaf coz something far more interesting than my human is taking all of my attention.?

oh please dont tell me it may not get any better!!!!!!had a very cringe worthy experience a week ago when some cyclists with a dog came up from behind unexpectidly- too late skye(8 months) had spotted them!! the dog was nervous and ran,skye thought this was great fun and chased it for ages,everytime the poor thing stopped skye barked and barked to make it run again, i may as well not have been there for all the notice she took.the people were very good but could tell they were not pleased!!! yesterday skye had got quite far ahead of us in forest and coming up to area where lots of people can appear from anywhere so thought i better get her back so she didnt tramatise anyones dogs!!! my 3 lurchers were all on leads, i shouted her and she just looked at me as if to say you come here!!! so i dashed into the trees at side to hide from her, i peeped round tree and she was still just staring as if to say that wont work either!!!! resorted to running in opposite direction which did the trick!!! but may not next time!!! too clever for own good!!! bless her!!

Welcome to the club, guess you've got many more embarrasing moments to come. On the plus side they do get a bit better as they grow older and wiser.

thanks for that glimmer of hope!!!!

Leah goes particularly deaf in the park, much to the amusement of other dogs/owners no doubt
