How To Train Your Dog To Come

This is a really big one because you really need your dog to respond well to you on the "come" command! Imagine your dog (just being a dog), but seeing a cat or something else that intrigues him and he takes off after it. Now, when you voice the command "come" or stop to prevent him from chasing the cat, you will be proud that he has learned this command.Here is  a technique to train your dog to come that consists of 8 steps:

step1. Begin inside your home, with you and your dog in the same room.

step2. Have some dog treats to use for positive reinforcement. Face your dog and back up a few steps.

step3. Call your dog by name, followed by the simple command "Come." (For example: "Toby, come.")

step4. Reward your dog with a treat after he "comes" to you.

step5. Slowly increase what you expect from your dog by calling him from the other room.

step6. Gradually move into the backyard from inside the houseand then to the front yard on a long leash and so on.

step7. Praise and encourage your dog many times as he comes to you.

step8. Remember to say "goodboy"  at the moment your dog performs the behavior you want.

I hope this technique helps you to train your dog to "come".
