Can you say "teenagers?" I've read that from 6 months to 18 months dogs act like teenagers. Defiant. I would chalk some of it up to that.

Tucker knew "come" at 4 months but around 6 months- no way! So he basically never went anywhere off leash. Most annoying was getting him back into the house or car. Chase was clearly what he was after.

Fortunately, around 12 months he showed signs of coming out of it. He;s actually very good aroun 18 months!!!! Lulu just turned 6 months and I see the defiance in her eyes.

Keep practicing the recalls, it's always good practice. But I am cutting Lulu some slack because of the teen years. I survived it w/ Tucker so I expect she will grow out of it too.

Good Luck!
