New TM owner :)

[Mooshi's Mummy]

ahhh TM's and their recall, a constant source of amusement and frustration, but its not impossible to get it to about 95%, with huge amounts of hard work and outsmarting. is your boy food driven at all? I have an off lead TM and trust me they are few and far between, but its not completely impossible if you are willing to put in the time, thought and loads of hard work...

He loves his food but wouldn't say he's food driven lol he buggers off if there is something more interesting like other dogs, I'm sure giving the chance he would follow them home!

Sounds about right. I don't know how Mooshi's Mummy did it lol, we've been plugging away on recall since day one and he STILL only responds when he feels like it.....if I'm lucky I get a "yah, in a minute, maybe" look....

Hi All,
I'm another fairly new TM owner (near Sheffield).
Our older boy (Zeus) is only 17 months (half brother to the lovely Mooshi) and we must've had a moment of madness as we got our newest boy (Hades) in April so he's now 17 weeks old. Got our hands full that's for sure!
And they are soooo different in personality!
Totally agree with the comment on recall too. Getting Zeus in from the garden is hard enough sometimes. A couple of weeks ago he somehow managed to wriggle out of his collar and had a run around the cricket field. The only way my husband managed to get hold of him was when he stopped for a poo!!
