my girl was two in feb. sometimes she just chooses to ignore me. today was just too much. this is indoors only as she is never off the leash outside.
she won't come to me when called if she doesn't want to, she just looks at me. this morning it felt defiant. 3 times within 5 minutes she just refused to come to me. I had to really ask before she would bother. the last time you could see her thinking.......she sat there while I called her to come...to her right, the couch and her cozy spot to hang out. to the left, me, in the chair. I called and called, she just looked back and forth without a care to what I was asking her to do, only looking to please herself.
I put this together just this morning with something she does every great once in awhile at the threshold of our bedroom door. at night when we go to bed we shut the door. she normally just trots on in and settles down. every now and again she sits just at the threshold and won't come in, we call and call then she will come. I have shut the door on her if she won't come in after a few times calling so I made her wait hoping that would break the habit. it works for awhile and she hasn't done it for ages in the bedroom...but this morning she would not come out of the garage/art room when I called. finally I shut the door and left her there for a few minutes before I went back to let her out. which happened a just a few moments before the couch or mom incident! it has got me thinking I need to get this fixed! it must be my dog's evil twin. I never yell at her and I don't want to consstantly give her treats. she has never had any bad experience coming to anyone so she is far from worried or afraid, it is just plain I don't wanna!! thanks for any help or ideas in advanced.
