Perhaps the single most important command you will teach your dog is “COME.” This command is one you will use at home, outside, anywhere you take your dog. To achieve the level of cooperation with your dog that Scout exhibits when he hears “come,” start in your own home. Keep in mind, there should always be something reinforcing when you tell your dog to “come”—a treat, a toy, food, etc. Watch for the moment your dog turns to you and takes that first willing step toward you, say “come,” and reward. It’s that simple! You see that Scout is very responsive to the “come” command and knows reinforcement will be his reward!

Get your dog’s attention with their name, then use your recall cue and take a step away from them. Teaching your pooch their name makes it easy for you to grab their attention when you need it. Reward them with praise and a tasty treat when they come to you. Let them move away from you before using your recall cue, and use a long line attached to. Always reward your dog when they come back. Gradually increase the distance between you and your dog and the level of distractions you call them away from.

If your dog has been through our basic training program, he knows that “Come” means approach us and directly sit. Making your dog want to come to you, he should learn that “Come” means come to the person who has called him. One-person game, start with your dog on a leash, show him the treats, back up a few steps and say “Come.” When he comes, he should sit automatically. If necessary, give him the “Sit” command. Once he is sitting, praise and give him a treat. Eventually, we want our dogs to come to us with no food reward, no matter how distracted they are. Teaching them that “Come” means something good will pay off in an emergency situation.

Run away a couple of paces then call your dog's name and say come in a friendly, exciting tone - getting down low can also encourage them to come back. You need an incentive to encourage your dog to come back - a really tasty treat or a fun game with a toy. Show your dog the toy or food. When practicing this command on walks, always take your dog's favourite treats and toys with you so you can continue to reward him when he comes back. Only call when you are going to praise your dog - do not call your dog and then tell them off as it means they will be less likely to come back next time you call. Don't only call your dog to put them back on the lead - they'll soon make the association and be reluctant to come back.
