Dog Training With A Clicker

• In addition to training they should get a baby gate for the door way AND a screen door if possible. The baby gate shoud help. Meanwhile work on sit and stay. YOu may need to google or you tube instructions for training
  
  there are several methods including standing at door with squirt gun or hose (with our goldens that doesn't work) or someone standing with leashed dog while the other rings bell and you reward as dog behaves and stays in sit... etc. etc.
  
  A personal trainer is a good thing as they can be objective and ajust your training


• trainer, they need to train the dog, and corectly
  
  all what they have been doing so far is directly oposite of any and all training advices that exsist
  
  never run after a dog, it take it as a game, run away get it to chase you, the dog is faster, you'll never catch up
  
  dont yell, your "barking" the dog take it as cheering it on, aka helping it and telling it yes this is rigth, more more
  
  they need to train her to come on comand, and stop encuraging her to run off
  
  so yeah get a trainer to help them who actualy know what their doing..there several ways to train on this, but atm i think their best bet is being instructed through it because they actualy encuraged and trained the dog to run off...so its going to be harder to retrain it, then it would have been just corectly training it from the start.


• Your friend should seriously consider finding a reputable trainer in your area that can help with this issue.
