Ah yes--My Holly is a master at the Stare. It's like she's seriously contemplating which of her two loves, me or the yard is more important at the moment I call her. I've never had a dog actually look like they are "contemplating" between two things. We've started giving Holly a jackpot treat every few times she's called in from the yard--sometimes it's just a lot of little jerky treats, sometimes it's a small cube of cheese (which she lives for). So she never knows if she's going to get some yummy goodness when she comes in!
