Things You'll Need
- Treats
Instructions
Position yourself on one side of a fenced yard or room in the house. Ask a friend to go to the opposite side.
Call your dog to you using its name, whistles, toys, special treats or whatever it is that will make your dog happy.
Praise your dog, give it treats and lavish on the affection when it comes to you.
Ask your friend to call your dog to the other side of the yard or fence. When the dog reaches the friend, the friend should reward the dog with praise, treats and affection.
Repeat this process during several training sessions until the dog comes immediately upon being called.
Increase distances and distractions as your dog consistently learns to come when you call.
