Question
I just got a new boxer/huskey puppy. She seems really happy and loves to
play but when i call her she will just look at me and stand there. if i start
walking away she will follow me but if i turn around she will stop again. it
was easy to get her to sit but she just wont fully come when i call her. ive
tried training her with treats but it didnt seem to work. She is like 6 weekes
old and weeve had her for like 2 weeks and i was just wondering if this is a
problem or will she later learn to come when i call her?

Answer
Why did you get a puppy at 4 weeks old????? At 4 weeks they start leaning to communicate as a dog if takin away from mom early they jsut don't behave right like an autistic child they have feelings but they don't ecsacatally know how to communicate them. I would get her into a puppy class ASAP so she can learn scocal Ques from other pups her age. Also when you use treats to get her to come do you only give them when she comes and don't give her treats any other time, is it a treat she REALLY likes? Or does she kind of like it. The value of the treat has to out way what she does when she doesn't listen to you. Basic obediance class will help lots also.
