Hi guys. My GF and I need guidance bigtime with our 6month old girl "Nova". We love her to death and walk her all the time, she socializes with other people and dogs and does well. I have a 1/2 acre of property that she is free to roam and we hav play time everyday. When I am working she has the couch to herself and is very good in the house. She will steal a sock but never damages or swallows them. No furniture or sofa is ever touched. The problem is she does not come to you when you call her. She will stare at you from a distance and a lot of times will sit and stare while you call her. When told to sit, paw or lay NP at all! But she will not come to you. We say it in a soft voice, she knows she is not in trouble but it doesn't happen! She has come to us in the past is we have a treat in our hand or start playing with one of her toys. Yesterday she got out of the yard and started to run around in the front of my property and the neighbor's. The good thing is she did not run away but she would not come to us at all. She crossed the street multiple times to say hello to the neighbor which scared the hell out of us. After 15 minutes I finally grabbed her and had to drag her in house. Are we expecting to much from a 6 month old?? Is she being stubborn?? When calling her she isn't trying for us to chase her and her tail is not down like she is scared.
The Good:
She knows and listens to SIT, PAW and LAY.
Wonderful with other people, dogs and kids.
Very affectionate and loving
Doesn't touch anything in house
The Bad:
Will not come to you not matter how hard we try.
Please help!
