So i adopted my sisters dog, which was my sisters since the dog was 8 weeks old. Ive now had her for 4 months and have had the same problem: getting her to come back inside the house (or even come to me) when in the backyard.

I can leave my front door wide open and outside to my front yard, say "stay," and she will stand inside and not come out. If i say "come," she will come to me in the front yard and listen to me even when off leash in the front yard when i tell her "come inside," and walk back in my house.

But when im in my backyard, it can take up to 45 hours to get her to even get close enough to me to where i can grab her by the collar and bring her back inside. She completely ignores any command and only runs away, thinking youre trying to play with her. Even if i slowly approach her and try to get her to follow me inside, she will just run whereever she wants and do what she wants.


My sister told me she had the same problem the whole time she had her (shes about 18 months old now) and shed have to hold a treat in her hand to get her inside, which still took a long time because shed run up to her hand and run away again.

I understand that this can happen if a dog doesnt get enough exercise, but this will happen even after i take her on a 5 mile bike ride with her running full speed the entire time, coming home completely warn out. She is just 100% disobedient in the backyard.

Any ideas on how to resolve this???
