coming when called

We have recently adopted a four year old oes. She is absolutely wonderful and a perfect pet. We are fortunate to live near a dog park that the dogs are allowed to run and play off leash. Daisy loves to go and sniff out all there is to sniff. Our problem is she refuses to come when called. She takes off and she is walking us, not the other way around. You would think she is deaf. Ive tried treats and praise, but nothing works any suggestions?

Training!

But in the meantime....
Some people have success opening the door to the car, and offering the dog a ride (in whatever phraseology you usually use...)

As far as the training goes, I've read about it using a long lead and treats. The long lead is used to pull the dog to you after issuing the "COME" command. Not coming is NOT an option. Food reward is given for coming.

I'm not a trainer, and this is only an outline of the technique.
I'm sure someone here will be able to help you out, but if not, there's always the OES-L.

Good luck! and thanks for dropping by!
