A woman has been training with her dog for months.
Then an unmannered, free-running four-legged friend simply bursts in and the situation becomes nerve-wracking.
Training a dog is not always easy.
Sometimes even frustrating or nerve-wracking - but you are not alone.
Many other dog owners feel the same way.
The key is to stick with it consistently.
It's all the more annoying when another owner puts a stop to your training plans.
To vent her anger about this, a woman shares a video on
TikTok
.

When you train for months
In order for a dog to run freely, it should reliably listen to your call.
This requires a lot of training.

“When you've been training your dog for months, but someone else just lets their free-roaming dog who doesn't hear come along,” an annoyed young woman comments on her video on
TikTok
.
Are you also afraid of dog encounters?
This refers to Golden Retriever Rory, who is probably only too happy to react to external stimuli, has a short fuse and is not exactly a star student on a leash.
In order to change this, the two of them are training diligently.
After all, Rory should concentrate entirely on his owner and not just have nonsense on his mind.
But a small, free-running four-legged friend who just wanted to say hello ruins the entire training.

The video is causing a stir on
TikTok
.
It was viewed over 550,000 times.
The reactions speak for themselves.
Here is a selection:
“Should I put him on a leash?
Only if you still need it.
Then it actually works quite well.”
“Why did you let the other dog get so close?
Answer: We don't have that.
😂 We didn't even see him coming until he was right behind Rory and then it was too late because he ran around us as we walked away."
"When they start screaming, 'He's nice,' I always scream, 'Mine isn't.'
😂 So either you put your dog on a leash or you have a problem.”
“People have absolutely no respect!
I also have a dog that overreacts and people think they can just pet him because he's a golden retriever.
I don't know how many times I literally had to get angry after saying, 'No, please don't!'"
Recall is considered the supreme discipline: Tips for a reliable command with dogs
Recall is one of the most important commands a dog should learn.
It allows you to control him in any situation.
A reliable recall can save lives and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
The recall also consists of several components.
The dog should turn towards you and walk directly towards you without distraction.
1. Start with the right timing:
Begin recall training when your dog is still a puppy or in a quiet environment without distractions.
The earlier you start, the easier it will be for your dog to learn the command.
2. Use positive reinforcement:
Reward your dog with praise, treats, or toys every time he responds to the recall command.
Positive reinforcement is the key to successful training and helps your dog associate the desired behavior.
You should refrain from swearing.
3. Choose a clear recall command:
Use a clear and easy-to-understand command such as “Here” or “Come.”
Stick to this command and don't use different variations to avoid confusion.
4. Train in short but frequent sessions:
Keep training times short, but train often.
Repeat recall training several times a day in short sessions of five to ten minutes to maintain your dog's attention.
5. Increase distractions gradually:
Train your dog in different environments and under different distractions to ensure that he obeys the recall command in every situation.
Start with minimal distractions and gradually increase them.
6. Be patient and consistent:
Recall training requires patience and consistency.
Be patient with your dog and give him time to learn the command.
Also, be consistent in your approach and only reward the desired behavior.
