Train Your Dog To Come Back

Work your way to 100 reliable in the house and then move outdoors where there are more distractions and temptations.

Train your dog to come back.

Training your dog to come when called is fairly simple but it takes some dogs longer than others to learn. Even worse is when they re running wild at the park and we have an audience watching us. Don t unintentionally punish your dog for obeying. Build up slowly to get your dog to come reliably.

A common training mistake is to recall the dog put the leash on and go home. Dogs and puppies not coming when we call them can be one of the most frustrating things. Importantly the steps are so small that you minimise failures and achieve success every step of the way. The process you will follow in our tutorial will result in taking tiny steps to increase the difficulty.

Eventually your dog should come to you on command even without a leash. In how you train your dog to come back to you when he hears the whistle that should be how he reacts. When your dog seems comfortable with the exercise try issuing the command without backing up. Dogs will likely learn to view recall as a sign.

If that works try the exercise with your dog off the leash. We all feel annoyed when our dogs don t come immediately but it s imperative that you control any anger annoyance or irritation you feel towards your. You need an incentive to encourage your dog to come back a really tasty treat or a fun game with a toy. We ask nicely we call them we shout and scream we even begin to wonder if our dog or puppy has a hearing problem.

Imagine you re enjoying a great afternoon at the dog park but you decide it s time to leave. You re calling after your dog and they ignore you as they roll in a fresh pile of horse manure only to come racing back with that big doggy smile and stinky streaks all over their fur. Your dog s ability to learn the recall command largely depends on its attention span and vulnerability to distraction. Run away a couple of paces then call your dog s name and say come in a friendly exciting tone getting down low can also encourage them to come back.

Show your dog the toy or food. Reward your dog each time they come to the person who called them. Train your dog to come back when called. You tell your dog to.
