Why isn’t my dog following me?

There can be a variety of reasons your dog won’t listen to you. Puppies and pubescent dogs tend to go through a phase where they find it difficult to concentrate. It is also possible that your dog is old and has hearing problems and therefore cannot hear.
What to do if the dog can no longer be caught?
If your dog won’t leash and/or has a safe recall, then you can’t leash him for the time being. It is dangerous. Therefore use a towing line or a flexible line. With a long towing line, you can also let the line drag and pick up the end in a relaxed manner.
How do I get my dog to mount me?

How long does it take for my dog to listen to me?
Training a dog usually takes around 3 years if you stick with it. This requires around 20 minutes of dog training per day. However, a puppy learns the most important building blocks of education within 4 to 6 months.
