Press Release Summary = Coming when called is a vital skill that every dog must
learn, both for its own safety and that of those around it. A disobedient dog that
refuses to come when called could easily be hit by a car, get into a fight with
another dog, or suffer a variety of other bad experiences.
Press Release Body = Coming when called is a vital skill that every dog must learn,
both for its own safety and that of those around it. A disobedient dog that refuses
to come when called could easily be hit by a car, get into a fight with another dog,
or suffer a variety of other bad experiences.
A well trained dog that comes when called can safely be taken out to play in the
local park, at the beach, on the hiking trail, or anywhere else the owner and dog
may wish to go.
Basic training to come when called is relatively easy and straightforward, and
involves providing praise, treats and other perks when the dog does as his owner
wants. After these basic come when called training exercises are mastered, there
are a number of fun exercises that can be introduced to challenge the dog and pique
its interest.
Making training into a fun game is one of the best ways to motivate dog and handler
alike. It is easy for training sessions to become routine and boring, and it is
important to keep them from degenerating into this state.
Before beginning any food based training exercise, it is important to make sure that
the dog is properly motivated and ready to respond to treat based training. Testing
the dog is simply a matter of taking a piece of his regular food and waving it in
front of the dog's nose. If the dog shows great enthusiasm for the food, it is
ready to start the training. If not, it is best to wait until the dog is in a more
receptive mood.
The treats that work best for treat based training games like hide and seek are cut
up quarter inch or smaller pieces of chicken, cheese or liver. In other words,
something a dog will love. It is best to use very small pieces to avoid overfeeding
the dog during the training sessions.
One great game for the owner and another family member or friend to play with the
dog is simply back and forth recall. This is a great exercise for teaching a dog to
come whenever it is called by a member of the family. Dogs often learn to only
respond to one person, and this can be a problem when other people are watching the
dog.
That is one reason why professional dog trainers always insist on working with the
owner as well as the dog. A well trained dog must learn to respond to whoever is in
charge, not just the owner or usual handler.
