we had a similar issue with our dog when we would let her out and she would love to take her sweet old time to come back, not listening to our come command. this went on for a few days. we then decided to just lock her out (as painful as that was) and go to bed. at 2am, we hear a loud bang on the door (clearly she wanted in). we waited for a few minutes of silence before letting her in as we didn't want to award her for banging or whining. ever since that night though, when we say come, she comes right away. i also reward her with treats when she does come.

i know this might not work for everyone, like if your dog ended up incessantly barking and in turn irritating your neighbors, but it might be worth a try.

sophie is a sweet dog and i love hearing about her, good luck!

LOL sorry but I have to laugh at this because I usually have fights w/my dogs too (especially Loki) and think that I'm a fucking nut sitting here fighting w/my dog or trying to reason like "can you please just stop? Just stop!" LOL

Its nice to know I'm not alone :)
