Have you ever wondered why your dog does not listen to you when you call them? Do you want to teach your dog not to run away from you or play the chase game? If so, this video will help explain and fix those issues!
The first step to get your dog to come when called is actually teaching them the come command. Many times people think their dog knows come, but it is more of a game and the dog doesn’t really understand the word or the expectations. There are many ways to teach command, and if you want more information please watch our “Come Guaranteed” video. • STEP By STEP Guide To Training Your D...
Once your dog has learned the basics of the come command, we will advance it by moving to a long line, short tab and in some cases an e collar. Make sure you have a well thought out proofing plan as well to ensure your dog stays safe.
The second step of getting your dog to come is to teach your dog to not run away. This sounds obvious, but many dogs don’t understand this at the beginning. After your dog has learned the come command,we will start expecting more out of them. If they do not listen, you need some sort of consequence.
The last step to get your dog come to you is stop them from learning to selectively listen. In order for dogs to learn to listen every time, they need to learn consequences and they need to know that you will be 100% consistent!
Ideally, the process of teaching your dog to come should start when they are young. If you didn’t start when they were a puppy, don’t worry! We see this all the time! It is never too late to teach your dog to come when called!

Several years ago I was chasing our black lab around our block. He thought it was great fun! I couldn’t catch him at all. In frustration I yelled, ‘Bentley, SIT!" and he did! I walked up to him and attached the leach and we went home. 😂😂😂

One of the biggest mistakes new dog owners make, is to call their dog to them for discipline. Coming to you should always be a positive experience.
-
What many people don't get is that dogs are smart, sentient beings! They figure us out pretty quickly and well. Training the human is the more challenging thing because that forms the foundation for success (or not) in training a dog, which should always be done with kindness and consistency.

Yeah, the “squirrel” coming into to play is a game changer! Gets me every time too! 😅

i've been all over the internet looking at videos to help me train my dogs, this is absolutely the best channel so far. this guy's way of explaining things is so easy to follow and understand.

We teach an enthusiastic recall. For two weeks we only care about the enthusiasm so no sit at the end until you have the enthusiasm down pat. Grab the collar BEFORE giving the high value treat that is only used for the recall (so filet mignon, steak, bacon - whatever the dog will do back flips for - only used for recalls - no other time). Also, one time only - dog's name, recall word). If you're the type of person who every other word out of your mouth is the recall word (like a lot of you tubers) then you have to change your recall word - it's sacred, so used only three times per day only with that highest level treat). Hope that helps.

Thank you for explaining how to get your dog to stay. My dog comes but then runs away as if it were a game.
-
what most owners don't/won't understand is "over and over again",excellent video sir!
-
I always separate “come” and “close”. Close always meant be within about 20 yards of me, which was useful for bird hunting. If i repeated close they learn to be more like 10 yards and so on as I want him free but near me, without being at “heel”. I love these basics.

Lots of ppl need to hear this video! There needs to be consequences when a dog choses to ignore you and that is Not mean. That is clarity.
-
Love how wally keeps looking around like who you talking to bro?
-
I use this method successfully. But I also include a hand signal, like a high sweep with one arm when calling “Come!” That works when the dog can see me but not necessarily hear me due to distance, ambient noise, etc. sometimes the hand signal is more compelling than the audible command. Good video.
-
I completely understand what your saying Mine is playing the game Time for a long lead lol
-
Keep it brief and to the point
-
Your dog training method "show and tell" is so effective. Thank you!
-
What a lovely dog.
-
Excellent video. Great technique.
-
I was impressed of your use of the word FREE to the dog. telling the dog that that particular event has ended. Its something that I was taught to do long ago and have used it with every dog I have had.
-
Clear direction on how to give command precisely, straight to the point.
-
Thanks, this makes so much sense
