Victoria Stilwell reccommends them, check her out. Me or the Dog.

[welshlibranr]

thanks anna, I will look.....

Victoria Stilwell is brilliant welshy. One of her ways to get your dog to come back to you is to pretend to be playing, make a high pitched squealing noise and run the opposite way. The dog will be checking you out on the quiet and will run after you. It worked for me first time.

thanks ladybirder, but Callie is so easily distracted that I,m scared to try that just yet!..............
