Teaching Your Dog To Come

"Come on!"

Our dog responds to ‘Come’ very well. I’ve found that it’s very helpful to have him come when there’s someone at the door, or if there’s something in the floor that I don’t want him to get. He also comes when called even if there’s a loose dog in the yard !

Clicker Method

Throughout the entire tricks section, I use the clicker method for training dogs. The clicker method, in my opinion, is the best method available to use, because it enables the dog to know exactly what it is being treated for. Also, the clicker method lets children and multiple people train the animal, making it incredibly "user friendly." For more on this, please see THE CLICKER METHOD.

The Need To Know

Here’s how to teach yours. Every time your dog approaches you, click and treat. Usually dogs will approach a person if they have treats. Walk a little further away. Click/treat when he comes. Then after he knows that the game is getting him to come to you, start saying the word “Come!” before you click. He’ll get the hang of it and soon you’ll have an obedient dog who answers your call.
