Loki Board and Train day 8

We were in a much better mood today. He did well with the long line and pinch collar today with Heel/Autosit, Down, and Implied Stay. His Recall was making progress but he has plateaued with it and isn't doing very well anymore. He no longer simply runs from me but he stands and stares and pointedly does not come. I am considering putting him on a remote collar to work on this so I can completely remove the leash and safely reprimand him for ignoring the Come command. Of anything else I can teach him, Recall is the most important. I know he understands it because on the 5 foot leash he does it perfectly. As soon as he has breathing room, however, he gets to be a real problem child about it. His owner wants to enjoy him at the dog park and to do that we need to get this recall thing under control. I am going to try a grounded long line (ie one that is not in my hand but drilled into the ground so he might feel like he isn't really on leash) and see if that doesn't help. Everything else is going fine except for a few times in the house when he knows he is in trouble and runs from me. Grrr. He is going to wear his pinch collar all day tomorrow to work on this. On a happier note, he has been inviting me to play with him over the past few days which is very nice because he was a bit shy with me last week. We had a nice game today of Toss the Toy (guess how you play) and he has been soliciting more attention from me. Hopefully he starts seeing me as less of a drill master and more of a leader and friend. 
He has moved into the house full time now and is spending his whole day with me and the family. This suits him just fine.
He gets one more workout tonight and then it is off to bed!
