It also really depends on the dog. The dog in my story was a game breed, not inclined to follow direction. I've worked with plenty of other dogs of breeds bred to be odediant (retriever, GSD) that would avoid any object, no matter how enticing, with a forceful "leave it" from the handler. Breeds meant to be directed by a handler will obey if trained properly, motivated by positive reinforcement from the handler; breeds meant to hunt independently (terrier, hound) are motivated by the game, not the handler.
