Coming When Called Tips

The dog needs to develop a sense of freedom. Without that, the dog will never come. 


Developing a sense of freedom can be done by bringing the dog to a fenced in ballpark or tennis court. 


Use a long line. Attach a 50 to 60 foot long line to the dog’s collar. If the dog does not respond to your "come" command, use the line to guide the dog back to you. 

Every time you command, "come", make sure you reward the dog for coming. Use treats, praise, toys, etc.  

Never call the dog and then punish him. If your dog comes to you and then gets scolded, chances are that he will remember that the next time you call him.  

Make coming when called a game. The more exciting you make the command "come", the better the results.

You can make it exciting for your dog by getting his attention and running away from him. Dogs love chase games.

A fun game to play is the spring loaded recall exercise. Have a friend hold your dog’s collar. Get the dog excited and run away while your friend holds the dog. Face the dog and call "come", at which point your friend lets go of the collar. Reward when the dog gets to you.
