This is probably a silly question but maybe some of you out there have some tips. I've had dogs all my life but not long ago we got this sheltie puppy who is now about 5 months old. She is very good and is house trained but the only issue is that she never wants to come in the house when she is supposed to. We are trying to get her in out of the heat or if we have to leave and she just won't come in. It's almost like she is playing a game with us because she'll walk right up to the entry, look at you, but as soon as you walk near the door she runs back down the stairs. We will even walk away and leave the door open hoping she'll come in on her own but sometimes she will just stand at the entry for 10 minutes and not move. We've tried enticing her with treats, by bringing our other dog out. We've gotten forceful with her and kind to her and either way she won't come in till she's good and ready. If you go outside and try to catch her, she runs like a mad woman. Any suggestions?
