so we've had maple for about 15 days now and she still doesn't respond to her name 100%, when we are trying to do some training with her and she can smell a treat near by she responds, but when she is outside or playing or if there ANY sort of distractions she doesn't respond, and I read in some training literature that it's not good to keep calling her if she didn't respond on the first try, it said to get her attention in any other manner and keep working on the name. The breeders did have her named something else but she didn't seem to recognize that name either so we felt it was ok to change it. I'm just wondering how long did it take till your puppies began to recognize their names and would respond during play or outside with distractions.
