Training Your Dog To Come And Sit | |
| The best results for recall training are when a bond has been created between you and your dog. He will learn to “come” quicker and easier if he is used to being with you, and enjoys your company. Here’s The Steps: * Your dog should have already learned to sit and stay before you start this training session. With the leash in your left hand and a food treat in your right, walk away from him while giving the verbal command “Stay”. * Turn to face your dog (while holding him on the leash), and show him that you have a food reward. Now call your dog using his name and the command “Come”. * As your dog reaches you, give him the command “Sit”. Many dogs will naturally sit in order to keep and eye on the reward, but you should still issue the command as the dogs sits down so he builds the association. * Once your dog has learned to return to you on a standard leash, progress to an extending leash. Some people find their dogs respond better to a toy reward, as it’s more visible to the dog from a distance. * When your dog will obediently responds to the “Come” and “Sit” commands, give him the toy reward and praise. Remember: You must have patience. As I said before, the “Sit”, “Stay”, and “Come” commands are some of the most important lessons you can ever teach your dog, because they allow you to keep him under your control at all times. To help speed things up slightly, remember to praise your dog when he responds well to your commands, and always use a positive tone of voice. | ||
