Teach Your Dog To Come When Called Anywhere

Today we're in the central business district here in New Orleans and we are gonna work with the cutest puppy you have ever seen in your life Chito the puppy is gonna learn how to make your dog respond when called you know Cullen called is one of the most important skills that our dogs need to know we should practice this early and often and in lots of different places by the way did you guys see my articel on how to teach your dog to listen to you around other dogs if not check out the description like me on Facebook too at facebook.com slash the exact order so that we can get to know each other even better and I have a pretty serious question for you are corgis the cutest puppies ever think about that as you watch this video and tell me in the comments below.

We're here with Aaron and Walker and cheeto the Corgi how reliable would you say he's been on come when called to this point in various environments okay so we got to get that up a little bit don't we but when we're teaching our dogs to come to us the first thing we want to do is get really tight really solid in an environment like this in the house so I was thinking we would practice in here for a little bit then maybe move on to a little bit more of a distracting environment and then maybe even more distracting if he does well without I'm gonna go over a game with you that you can do with your dog to teach them to come to you when you have two people in the household always call your dog in a very enthusiastic and happy voice you want to make sure that our dog is enjoying.

How To Train Your Dog To Come When Called Every Time?

The training process never call your dog in that firm voice because well they're not gonna look forward to training as much if you do that Walker what kind of currency are you going to use with cheeto today we got Walker over here we've got Aaron over here and we're gonna call him back and forth yeah look at  that look at him go that's it that's right we want our dogs bolting to us we want them running to it with a dog like cheeto the more genuine the more enthusiastic the more energetic you are the more likely they are to come running to you now if your dog doesn't respond so much to this high energy approach maybe try using a soft gentle more understanding approach if they tend to be a bit more reserved and look right here now actually let's pause you for a moment right now you're calling them Cheetos like I don't know I'd rather be over here with my dad he's got these treats and everything look for those small moments.

When your dog is thinking about listening to you and sees those moments in order to really encourage them to listen to you if they look like they're thinking about coming to you do everything you can to keep them in that mindset if you notice that your dog is coming to you halfway and then they're like I don't know so much it's important to shorten the distance make it a little bit easier remember the best dog trainers will not hesitate to take a step back on their training in order to teach and show their dog teaching your dog to come when called what they do why don't you guys go ahead and practice at a closer range and see if you can have some more success here reward him heavily uh with a skill like homeland called we want to reward very generously with our dogs in order to really give them that good association with listening to us.

Dog Won't Come When Called Outside

The next step is to start calling them randomly when they're least expecting it now let's see if you can do it with your back turn to bet you know to throw them up make things a little bit different because come one called really matters most when they are not expecting it and look he's doing terrific fantastic wonderful job what do you think about trying it by the fridge good very good so cute type somehow talk Walker into lying on his back to do this but in all seriousness teaching your dog to come to you when you're assuming different positions really challenges them to think more and makes them understand the general concept as opposed to just the training drill that makes sense go ahead call cheedo and see if it comes yeah yeah and it's you see how thrown off yes and you have your currency with you to let him know good he sees that go ahead and this is all very normal don't be discouraged this is.

Why we teach them this is why we train them maybe scoot up a little bit leave that very good so right there we provided the proper incentive it's much more important that we get the desired behavior than it is we get our dogs off of treats now if you want to see a video on how to teach your dog to listen to you without treats see the description of this video and I'll show you the formula on how to accomplish that I think that we need to up the difficulty level a little bit and practice in a less familiar but still somewhat familiar area what do you think about going out here to the hallway and see how he does okay so Chito is familiar with this area but he doesn't live here and that's a new setting for a dog that's a completely different variable for them that we need to be understanding of we're gonna start pretty close up and then we're gonna work to a greater and greater distance hopefully but we'll see how she go guys.

How to Train a Puppy to Come to His Name?

this is great guys if you do have a long distance like this and you're trying to get them to come to you you can do something like this come on let's go let's go come on cheese because dogs love to chase it's turned into a bit of a game but see this is why you practice in a controlled environment right here because often times if they get pretty hands up don't try and run past you and turn it into a game of chase which is okay but we want to make sure that happens in a really controlled environment so they can't get away from us look at that boy I might confuse him for a greyhound I'm gonna try and throw a wild card at him and see if his parents can get him to come to them while he's distracted so I'm gonna try and throw him off a little bit so go ahead there then and call him that's what you want here's another quick tip for you on come when called let your dog go back to doing what they're doing after they come to you don't insist they come to you to a sit or a down stay for 30 seconds really make it easy for them to succeed.

Chito is clearly too-cool-for-school here he's doing terrific we're gonna go outside now and see how cheeto does in a completely new place I'm very optimistic from what I've seen so far so we're gonna have Aaron and Walker call cheeto back and forth and see how incredible he can do and if he does well with that I'm gonna show you the next step it's important to let your dog adjust initially it's also important to have good control over them which is why we have a really long lead on cheeto so he can still run but we also still have control of them so why don't you go ahead and call Walker and see if he comes to you right here make sure you reward big - because it's a new environment look at that that's it the more embarrassed you are when you're calling your dog the better job you're doing you've got to be prepared to be extra patient go in slow motion because it's much more challenging to teach in this situation good now I ran behind him snapping my fingers giving him a mild distraction there you know really proofing it.

He's still listening to you that was fantastic here we go yes good job that's it that's how you call you deal like that was awesome man one thing that I like to do as my dogs are showing more and more success is start to pair certain behaviors together for example maybe calling your dog and then asking them to sit this teaches them to start generalizing a multitude of skills look at this good ask him to sit that was really doing a terrific job congratulations on your recent engagement too and I have to know from all of you our Corgi puppies really the cutest puppies ever tell me in the comments below if you want to see more articel about how to make your dog respond when called in the description and we can interact with each other lots more over there ok guys we'll see you in the next articel good job one very good.
