Okay...my dog has great hearing, when she wants to hear you. 
Today my dog crossed the street (without checking traffic) to visit my neighbor. No amount of calling on my part made a difference. Its like she's deaf. She does this when she gets an interesting smell or makes to make a social call.
Its very frustrating and I sound like an idiot...and I'm calling her in a friendly tone...then a more abrupt (but not angry) tone to make it through the fog. But more importantly, I don't want her hit by a car or run away.
I'm thinking about trying s vibration collar (no shock), that maybe a vibration would break her focus on the distraction (neighbor, cat, smell, SQUIRREL!).
Anyone here have any experience with a vibration collar on their dog?
