Is she a young puppy? Coz from the vavigator pic, she looks like a pup to me. Well, my dog Amber was like too when we first adopted her. No matter what we do, clap our hands, stomp our feet or call her name, there was no use. She would never come to us. But you mentioned that she will come to you if you have food in your hands right? Well, start using the food & treats to good use. Use it as a reward. Call her name, do what ever you can & show her the food in your hands. The moment she comes toward you praise her like crazy like you've never seen her for months! Do it for five repetitions then give her a break. Do this many times a day UNTILL she learns the command come. Remember, if you teach her the COME command, it's gotta be exciting! She must know that every time you ask her to come to you, she's gonna get something real delicious. Oh and one more thing you must know is, when you want to scold her for something she's does wrong, never I repeat NEVER use the word come & then beat her or scold her. The come word is always for something that's rewarding not punishment. If you want to scold her or whatever, just go towards her & do so NOT call her to come to you & then you scold her. I hope I've made myself very clear here... Oh yes and, since she's still a young pup & you just got her a weeks ago & maybe a month ago, she still won't know her name. Some dogs learn their name fast some slow just like my Amber. But now ofcourse she's 1 year plus now & she knows her name even if I just saw Ber, she turns around & looks at me. Okay, just some tips from me. Hope it'll work out with you & your dog! Good luck & tell me how it goes yah? Tata! Cheers!
