How to Teach Your Dog to Come When Called

A quick and simple way to get you dog to come when called.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dog (of course).
• Lots of their favorite treats.
• Patience.

1. Call out your dog's name and any command you want to use for 'come'. Since I'm Greek, I say it in Greek, 'ela'.

2. Basically what you are going to do is bribe your dog to come.
   
   Hold out his treat and let him come to you.

3. Once they come to you tell them to sit down and then give them the treat and show them affection.

4. Repeat each step for a week and then test your dog without any treats.
   
   If they learned they'll come when called. If not just keep practicing.

Tips & Warnings

• Only praise when they do it right.
• Practice all the time and also do it randomly.
• Do not hit or yell if your dog does not get it. It will cause them to become unstable and not trust you at all.
• It takes time. Just keep practicing.
