Coaching your puppy to come when called is just about the most worthy lessons to teach..

Coaching your canine friend to come when called is also one of the more hard lesson -for you, not your puppy. It is important to control your normal human tendencies and look closely at your body language. What you'll end up learning to do is counter-intuitive to people, nonetheless very effective. The final result-a puppy that comes whenever you call, almost every time-will be clearly worth the effort.

Repetition of the verbal order is good for this kind of instruction, because a selection of short, enthusiastic sounds is most effective when getting your puppy to move quickly. Imagine a coach yelling "Go! Go! Go!" Additionally, clapping when giving the order is extremely effective.

Here's another idea: a lot of pet dogs want to go where their owners go. They figure out where we're about to go by looking at our feet. That's the reason you'll be turning and leaving your pet to get him or her to come to you.

Yet another thing before we start. It is very important during this initial training that your dog learns to enjoy coming to you. Your major reinforcer such as the treat should be something your family dog loves-not just accepts.

Your vocal tone whenever offering praise must be encouraging and happy, as well. Have you ever seen someone ranting at their puppy that got free? Normally they lose patience speedily and transition from a cajoling voice to a stringent, angry yell if the dog does not come promptly. Consider that. Would you choose to run towards anger? Of course not! Don't forget, your goal is to help make your family dog thrilled to run to you whenever you call. So take care not to lose patience during this training, keep your voice happy and enthusiastic, and provide a ton of praise when your puppy does the correct thing.

Now, let's get on with the tutorial!

Stock up your pocket or pouch with treats. You may need more than usual for this lesson.

Take your pet to a location where there will not be many distractions.

Move about 10 feet from your pet dog as he is not being attentive to you.

Enthusiastically call out your dog's name, followed by the 'come' command: "Come! Come!" Do this while turning sideways. Don't turn your back, you should watch him closely, and start clapping when you start to run away from your dog.

As soon as he moves in your direction, call out your praise and keep going.

Slow down and let your dog catch up to you; then stop and without delay give him several treats and lots of passionate praise.

Then, back up approximately 12 steps away from your dog and watch for him to look away from you.

Keep this up for several times over the next 3 days. You are going to see good results rather fast.
