I've had her 2 mos. and still cannot touch her or pick her up. She comes within a foot of me, even with a yummy treat and darts away. Have to corner her to give her a pet. help!

Is that your dog? That is one of my favorites breeds after goldens. My golden is pretty good at following the 'come' command. His problem is with the 'give' command. He fetches things, but then he sorts of goes around you with the prize in his mouth, as if taunting you. <em>Mayra Calvani's last blog post..<a href='http://mayrassecretbookcase.blogspot.com/2008/05/launch-party-for-slippery-art-of-book.html' rel="nofollow">The Launch Party for The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing</a></em> That’s a beautiful dog in the picture!

Tee hee. Actually, I have been known to fake discovery of a mousie hole to get Pepper to come screaming over to me in an emergency. She loves digging anyway, real or fake. But I don't want to lose credibility so I just have done that when it's quite serious. When Pep was a pup I did have a really hard time with her wanting to eat anything and everything gross on our long wildland walks. My vet told me, "Bonnie, you are going to have to me more interesting than possum poop!" That's when I discovered the joy of keeping really tasty treats in my pockets. I love the "Natural balance" semisoft sausage-type sticks. I carve them up into chunks and they don't disintegrate in my pocket. That was a big breakthrough for me with my little hardheaded muttlet. I finally got to be more interesting than poop!! <em>Bonnie Story's last blog post..<a href='http://sonomadoggybloggy.blogspot.com/2008/05/shes-all-about-mousies.html' rel="nofollow">Shes all about the Mousies...</a></em> I’ll carry a mousie in my pocket for those pressure recalls!
