How do you teach your dog come to you?
Training your dog to come to you can be a really fun exercise. At least if you do it in a positive way. Think about it this way: You want your dog to want to come to you. What to do: Starting from when you get the puppy, reward the dog every time it comes to you without you giving it any signal. Soon the puppy will learn that you bring something positive. This can be a treat, a toy or a cuddle. But make it extremely fun and exciting for the dog. After some time you can add a command to the behavior, like "come". A little tip is to use a different word than "come". If you think about it you might be using "come" all the time when you talk to your dog, so try to use a different word. Remember the dog only hears a sound, it doesn't know the word. I've used this method on puppies and on older dogs. The older dogs use a little more time to understand the concept. But some patience will get you a long way. The result of this method is that your dog will come back to you to check if there's a reward, and if you call out that special word it will certainly come. Remember to take "baby steps" don't try this out on a Saturday and expect your dog to listen to you on Sunday when you are at the dog park. The focus will not be on you.
