thought I'd mention it just in case.  I know I often overlook possible 
physical problems.   I skip right to the dog is being 
stubborn/uncooperative/disobedient/whatever.  Then later I discover 
there is some health reason why things are happening the way they are 
and I feel horrible.    Recently Belle had a very nasty ear infection.  
It came up quickly and I had no idea until it was very bad.  She wasn't 
coming when she was called and when my husband touched her head she 
snipped at him.  Of course I skip to she's a beast of a dog.  I figured 
out the ear infection later that day, feeling like a total looser.

Having said all that, there have been times when Belle does not come 
when she's called and it has nothing to do with anything but her desire 
to keep sniffing or barking or whatever.   So you just never know.
