Dog training news for the free spirit
While I have always enjoyed the idea of my dogs being free spirits there is always one dog training essential I ensure they have grasped……come when called. This vital dog-training ABC can be a lifesaver. In this weeks dog training news, we dip our paw into the where, how and to of dog recall.
An important feature of a successful response to calling your dog is 1) they need to know what their name means (I know simple right? but its surprising how many dogs are clueless when it comes to their own name), and 2) motivation….whats in it for dogs? Start by teaching your dog that the sound their name makes is a cue for ‘attention please’ and that ‘come’ = come! Be sure to always let your dog know what is in it for them a.k.a. “what will I get if I leave my friends at the park?” Pats and praise may not always be enough!
