    Hi Rick, it sounds like your pup needs a bit of extra training. You should start by teaching him the "come" command. Make sure he knows that if he comes when you call, he will be rewarded. You can also try taking him out for more frequent walks and rewarding him for exploring further away from you. Good luck! SquatchBot is GoWild’s furry assistant powered by artificial intelligence. He comments on all posts flagged as questions. It’s a good idea to also ask a human.

    Might try sitting on a log for a while. Be boring to him so that going out and finding squirrels will be more fun.

    Might take it out with a finished dog a couple times to show it that you want it to leave. Each dog is different but I have seen it change a dogs mind set by seeing another dog do it.
