Charlie is actually really good with the come command as long as she doesn't think I can grab her. She follows closely when we're walking etc. But grabbing means I am going to take her outside and it is damn cold out there so I can't really say I can blame her for scooting away. But I don't want to be chasing her everytime I do need to pick her up for some reason. So how do I get her to come whether she likes the reason or not?

I would mix a treat with lots of TLC when she obeys a come command, and don't do it ONLY when you have to take her out. Mix the treat vs. TLC so she doesn't think she will get a treat every time.

I highly recommend the book "Good owners Great dogs" by Brian Kilcommons. I bought this book 10 years ago when we got our first dog. I have reread if many times and I loan it to friends when they get their first dog. Many friends tell me their children also use it as a reference.

I keep my dogs leash on the floor by the front door and trained her to stand by the leash/front door when she needs to go out. It took time but she will now bark as well if I'm not in an area where I can see her waiting. She also knows when I call her name and I am standing by the door with leash in hand it is her opportunity to go out for a walk, take care of business before I need to leave. I have to pick her up to take leash off then take her to her crate for lock down while I'm gone. lol, otherwise it becomes a chasing game.
