  12. On the subject of teaching "come"...
  13.  
  14. I like the suggestion by the Monks of New Skete:  put a weight at the end
  15. of a (long) clothesline, form a circle of family members/friends/...,  have
  16. person holding end of line give "come" command, when dog arrives (on own or
  17. with help of line), praise and throw line to next person, loop.
  18.  
  19. Haven't tried it yet (I'm usually on my own with her.), but it sounds good.
