[nagdu] no follow up

[Kody]

Ugh, that's rough.  What I'd do, personally, is on-leash obedience, maybe using treats so the dog associates coming on command with reward? Hmm. That is coming from being a lifelong dog owner, not a guide dog user.  Living in NYC, I haven't had a ton of off-leash time outside of the house with Corey, so now I'm curious how she'll do with coming when I call. I guess I"ll find out when I visit my mom next month and we get to play in her backyard.

But yeah - if I was in her position, I'd put the leash on at it's longest length and do some obedience drills, including using "come."  She might also try doing it outside (still on leash) so the dog gets the point that that rule still applies outdoors, not just indoors?

Again, this is from being a dog owner/training non-service dogs, and it's what I'd do. I'm not sure what a school would advise.
