Hi everyone, I’ve got two spaniels at home.
The first one is very timid and doesn't wander off too far if we aren't right by her side.
However, the second one is a complete handful; she's totally unmanageable when she manages to slip through our legs as soon as the door opens.
She’s done it three times today already. I know it's because cats often cut through our garden and she tracks them because she absolutely hates them, but today she made it all the way to the road (I live in a large courtyard and we can’t put up any gates or fences at the entrance because of the shop next door that shares the space...).
She’s really scaring me because her recall is non-existent, and it honestly feels like she thinks it's a game. She seems to enjoy me chasing her and shouting for her to come back, as she just runs towards me and then darts off in another direction again...
Three times in one day is just too much. When it's me dealing with it, I can manage (for now), but the others in the house (especially my mum) just haven't got a chance of catching her.
If anyone has any solutions, I'd be really grateful!
