I tried the "cookie" word as well, and they all came running to me.

Is there any rationale to this? I have a bitch that will be 12 in August - when she's outside she doesn't seem to hear me calling for her no matter how loud, and only knows that I want her to come inside when she sees the light flick on and off (great when it's dark, but otherwise it's a problem lol!) BUT - when she's in the house, it seems that she DOES hear me....same pitch of voice, just softer since I'm using my 'inside' voice instead of my 'outside' voice. Any rhyme or reason to this? Anyone know how dogs go deaf? ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
