It will no doubt be a humbling experience to see how difficult it will be to make myself, running and hiding with toys and treats etc., more interesting and appealing and motivitating to him than the pleasures of putting his nose down a gopher hole.
I think I will do the run and hide and make myself interesting so that recall is, I hope, an exciting thing for him to do, while I also hang onto the check cord, so that I can enforce the recall signal once given even if I am having trouble competing with the gophers. Can't take a chance on this teen getting the idea that a recall is optional.
