Hi All.
My 8mth old cocker  will sit, lay and stand on command but when i let him of the lead(over the park) he sees another dog and wont come back? Any idears or is he just playfull with other dogs? i would love him to be obediant outside of the home.

hi
my cocker is just the same, she is 10 months and has sudden 'deafness' when we go to the park and other dogs are about.  i found that taking her favourite toy (two tennis balls tied on a rope) helps keeps her attention and she's busy concentrating on fetching and bringing it back instead of running off.  I also started taking a few treats, calling her name and giving her a bit of treat when she comes back and then when she does run after another dog and i call her she knows that coming back to me means she's going to get a treat.  ive cut down on the treats now but she has learnt (most of the time) to come back straight away in the park.  hope that helps abit :)
