Guys, Janice lives in England. Things are very different over there with regard to places a dog can be off lead. That,
and Teasle does come back.
It's a question of calling or not calling,
rather than praise or not praise. The point is, if you call her...you must reward the return. In no way can you make it unpleasurable. If you duck down and hide, or keep walking (great description, Stephanie) the dog becomes alarmed, and actively looks for you.
