I don't mind him playing and actually encourage it. I am mainly talking about times that the dog is going in an opposite way to us.
How do I improve this and should I just keep calling him? What I have been doing is going and getting him and making him go the way we want. As I said he listens to us most of the time and this only happens when he is playing and running with other dogs.
