	I know we need the basics for our new girl, Heidi. She was raised in birth home 14 months, kenneled w siglings almost exclusively. I am teaching her "come" and "house" to enter doghouse, and pack order. when she doesn't want to "come" she circles. How aggresivly should I pursue her - I dont want to chase, but I want her to obey EACH time. It seems that if I pursue, it could give her power over me and teach her to run from me. But if I treat her like a sheep and DO pursue, maybe she will respond better. What should I do?
