The Dog Blog is a community of ordinary dog lovers who have come together to discuss our extraordinary dogs. Each Monday, a new topic is introduced. If you've got an opinion, share it. If not, look for the current "anything goes" topic and introduce a discussion of your own. On Fridays, weigh in about your training questions and successes.
Your host: Mike Lewis is a little-dog nerd and the proud owner of Eddie and Jillian, a pair of Yorkies who think they're Labs, and Rusty, an elderly Lab who thinks he's a Yorkie.

Use this space to discuss training issues. Have you had any successes? Setbacks? Any questions for the group here?
I've run into a few problems with off-leash walks. I do this at the local park when I'm confident there are no people or dogs around for them to annoy. As long as they stay close and come when called, I'm comfortable doing it.
But lately, they're getting a little lazy at the immediate comes. My solution so far is to leash when they don't answer a come and then to start working harder on comes. It's just going a little slow. I'm afraid all I'm teaching them is if I say come, they better ignore me or they're going to get leashed.
