Dog Training - How to Train Your Dog to Come to You & Prevent Dangerous Situations

Authored By: Jerry Yap

Having a dog that will come to you when it's called is always nice and comforting. In fact, it is more than nice. It is a basic requirement. To be able to call your dog to come to you can also keep your dog away from dangerous situations. It also assures your neighbor that they have nothing to worry about when you bring you dog out for a run. Your dog should always enjoys coming to you but it should also come on command without any delay.

Your goal is to get your dog headed your way immediately when called by voice or whistle. To do this training, you would need a long check cord, a whistle and some dog treats. The easiest way to teach your dog to come to you is to teach him to sit. Get about 25 feet of rope and attach a snap loop on the end. Hook it to the dog's collar. Command the dog to sit and then back away about 10 feet. Kneel down. Give several quick blasts on the whistle and say the dog's name, and then say "come". That should get the dog coming to your direction. If the dog deviates halfway or is distracted, pull on the rope and say "come". When the dog comes to you, lavish him with praise. There is no reason to delay giving praises when a dog comes when called.

The dog responded correctly and she is assured of praises each time she does it. Then command him to sit before backing up a bit further and try the act again. Whistle carry much better than your voice and can be heard over the din of road noise, over the voices of crowd. If the dog doesn't come to you when you blow it, he may be choosing to ignore you. This means that you have some more training to do with the long cord.You may want to use treats as a reward for proper response. You call, the dog comes and you provide a little snack for him. But honestly, if you are down to the dog level, talking to him in a happy voice, most of the dogs would come to you especially if you are pulling a bit of the rope as guidance. But then, a little treat wouldn't hurt.

There are some things you must take note while training your dog to come to you. Never call the dog in an angry voice. Never ever hit the dog when it arrives. To do so is punishing the dog for doing what you have asked and before long; no dog would come to you since the result is a beating. Dogs know when you are angry. Never punish a dog for coming to you. It is not only cruel but disruptive to the training. Pay close attention to the commands you are giving. The command is "come", not "here boy, see here, get here" or anything else you might decide to say. Be consistent with your command and precede it with a whistle. This is especially important in the early stage of the training if you are encouraging your dog to respond to both your voice and the whistle. As the training progresses,you can just call by voice or just with the whistle. You should mix a couple of these commands during the training.

The end result is to let you dog know that regardless of which command (voice of whistle), he should respond immediately. It would also make the training more interesting for both you and your dog. Training like this for 15 minutes at a time, three to five times a week, will really put you on the road to having a great dog that comes to you every time you call him!
