2. you take your dog out to a park to socialize with other dogs. When called, other dogs come to their owners more or less at once; a vlcak comes OK (rewarded!), but it will take her a minute to finish her own businesses first, e.g. to say goodbye to her dog friends

This is exactly how my dog is, when I train at the dog club this is what I tell the instructors, but they look at me like I’m just trying to give them excuses

Hronec will go fetch maximum 4 times whit or whitout reward
After that he will go somewhere els to play

I know the pain, Mikael!The instructor in our puppy club thought I was using the dog to excuse my own laziness

But now we have a six vlckas' group and our instructor is managing them pretty well

She is an owner and breeder of fila brasileiro, a completely different breed but equally 'ambitious' as CSV. That's why she's flexible, so our CSVs like her a lot.
