Walks are for dogs not us. I get that when we walk our dogs we get exercised as well but that’s not the point. The point is to allow dogs the freedom to be a dog and do what dogs do and that is sniff their world. Depriving them of this basic instinct is robbing them from a very important and necessary primal instinct.

ARE YOU WORTH COMING BACK TO?

There are many reasons why dogs don’t come back when you want them to. A dog’s genetics play a big role in this when an environment is far more stimulating and exciting and listening and coming back to you disappear into the background as genetic instinct takes over.

An exciting scent or seeing something to chase can all override a response to you.

Genetics aside, a common reason why dogs don’t come back when called is because it’s not a positive experience for them.

I often cringe when I watch owners trying to get their dogs to come to them when they call.
They call and call and get increasingly angry and frustrated as their dog keeps ignoring them.

When their dog eventually does come back, or has been chased and "captured” by their owner, they get screamed at, yanked about, smacked or punished in some way for taking so long and not listening. Why would a dog want to return to someone who does this to them!

Make coming back to you worth it by always making it a rewarding experience.

Have a little patience if it takes longer than you would like, let your dog finish what they’re doing before calling them, practice in different locations and environments and never reprimand or punish them for coming back.

There is never a guarantee of a perfect recall each and every time, but making it rewarding will greatly improve the rate of success.

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for a dog trainer. Artoo, my big lab, has issues walking on a leash, jumping up on people, charging at dogs, hu***ng other dogs, barking/growling and scratching at the windows when he sees other dogs while in the car. Hades, my partner's little Heeler, has issues with barking at visitors in the house, barking in the car, barking & chasing bicycles, and being aggressive toward Artoo (nipping at Artoo's face mostly, not really hurting Artoo) TIA 🐕

Hi, my name is Manny and I am 9 years old. I am a male Norwich Terrier mix and I weigh around 20 pounds. I am looking for a quieter home where I can lay on my bed and enjoy a good nap or cuddle up next to my humans. I am available for adoption.

All of the animals that are posted on our website and page are ready for adoption. If you would like to meet Manny, please call Sequoia Humane Society at (707) 442-1782. The family that shows interest first, will get the first opportunity to meet Manny. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.
