At the moment, at about one and a half years old, Theo's actual recall is OK. He knows about coming when called, he enjoys the 'come and get a treat' game, he loves interaction and he doesn't want to lose me.

BUT - he is easily distracted. If he sees a rabbit, fox, or worst of all, deer, he will go deaf and chase. If he sees a dog, I sometimes can'

Yes, Theo's still a young dog. There's no rushing things.

Even my best-behaved spaniel, Sam - the one I did obedience competitions with - used to chase deer as a youngster. With him, the urge to chase deer wore off by the time he was about four.
