End dog park hassles

You love to take Fido to the park, but when it’s time to leave, he doesn’t want to come when called and runs away from you! Trainers say the problem is that when you call your pup, the next thing you do is put the leash on and head home—so he associates your calling him as a sign the fun is over! The solution: Call Fido to you, give him a treat and let him return to playing. Repeat a few times. Your pup will continue to happily come, and you can leave when you’re ready.
