will your dog come to you when....

will your dog come to you when called
when he/she is eating breakfast, lunch
or dinner?

Rhett, yes...he will also leave it if I tell/ask him to.

The others....no not so much!
(I havent really tried with them either though, if I did...well then they would be as awesome as he is!LOL)

Stanley always comes to me when I call at home (in case we are going for a walk or there is food), have never tried to call him whilst eating.
When out and offleash he is very good unless he has decided to chase another dog - a bit of an ingrained problem with ex racing greyhounds, but I'm working on it as he gets knackered after a couple of mins chasing around and around which GHs don't do to well. Not built for stamina you see, short sharp sprints is what they do best.
He won't always go to my kids or husband, just depends.

Never thought to try that one.......heck there wouldn't be TIME to call them off their dinner

I can see where that would come in handy though. If my guys are in someone's house where they leave out food for their dogs all the time, they would totally take that as an open invitation. Sadly enough I've never made my guys wait for their dinner, they just have to sit. I don't think they have the self control to leave food just sitting there.

Hmmmmm........another thing to add to the training list. Somehow we just end up doing the more fun stuff like agility ground work.

​Copper would, but she's the only one.

the pug? not in a million lifetimes.

the corgi mix? maybe.

but they eat so fast by the time i called their names, they'd be finished.

Jesse was reading this as I was this morning...and he said "Brody would too!! Right after he gulped what ever he was eating!!"Lol sooo true!

[Dude and Bucks Mamma]

Dude, yes, after a couple of times of saying "Dude" but Buck, absolutely not. It's a work in progress, though.

[xellil]

Would there be a reason to do that? When we were first working on stuff, I made him leave his food now and then, but in general I want him to enjoy his meal - I don't really use it as a training opportunity.

YEs, we work on things like that with all my pups. That said my young male will bring his food with him and my dominant girl will actually carry her bowl with her when she comes. They are funny - but that's how collies are obedient but they always add their own twist.
