If the dog denies coming to your call, find out the reason before going back to the call training. It is possible that the dog doesn't feel linked to you; it can be bored digging in the trash or wants to play with other dogs. The dog can also be showing dominant behavior or may be scared of you or the leash.

| ADVICE 377 |
| You should never call the dog for something it dislikes. |
| ON THE TRACK |
| The dog has a fine sense of smell and gets information about the environment by smelling. Let the dog do it, then, call it by its name, tell the dog to sit and order "come". |
| NATURAL DISTRACTION |
| Even when the dog understands your call, it may prefer a sexual investigation. Castrated dogs are less interested in sex and more likely to come when you call them. |
| TOTAL LACK OF INTEREST |
| If the dog doesn't consider you a worthy leader, it won't answer your call. You will have to go back to the basic orders before going on to the call training. |
| ENERGY UNFOLDING |
| Young dogs have excess of energy. If you have a young dog, try to tire it before calling. |
| ADVICE 378 |
| If you have doubts about your dog's obedience, use a retractable leash, leaving it loose; the dog will have the false sensation of being free. |

| DISOBEDIENCE |
| The dog can be temporarily distracted for something exciting. Try to call the dog's attention, call it by its name with enthusiasm and then, order it to come. |
| DIGGING IN THE TRASH |
| Digging in the trash and stealing can be more satisfactory than your praising or food rewards. |
| ADVICE 379 |
| You should avoid this disgusting custom by using a long leash or a muzzle |
| REWARD OBEDIENCE |
| Make your call retaining the dog by the collar and giving it a treat. |
| ADVICE 380 |
| If it is precise, to use prizes such as food or a toy, to stimulate it to come back. |
| PLAYING TIME |
| Allow your dog the pleasure of playing with other dogs, but observe its behavior and tell the dog "come" if the game begins to be too violent. |
