All you have to do is train them. 10 minutes training sessions. if you come home in the evening do two or three sessions and in a weeks time ur dog should be able to be trained to come.. keep up the training sessions and make them fun even after a skill is learned.

Training your pet to come is good to do with a partner. If you don't have a partner, training to sit and stay first is a good thing.
u can do it on leash or off leash. On leash is better for those who have really stubborn dogs. You can do it with a treat or without. I have found that a lot of HAPPY HAPPY silly praise will go a long way. You have to let your dog know that coming to you is the best thing in the world. This means that you need to praise him/her like crazy when they come, before you do something that may not be so much fun to them, like baths or teeth brushing ect.

stand about three feet from your dog if your alone or have someone stand three feet away holding your dog. IF your along you definitely need a leash. tell him to come and make it exciting. when you say come gently pull the leash toward you (with a great doggy treat in hand if possible). For those with a partner do the same. IF your partner is a stranger then your dog is prolly gonna be really excited to come back to you with or with a treat, and with or without a leash.

Keep doing that between the two partners for a a few 10 minute sessions a day. For those who are alone, keep putting him.her in a sit stay and repeating for the 10 minutes.

I found that the first day of sessions seems like there is no progress. The dog is just learning is you say come, sit, stay, or whatever, then it means do xyz. The amazement comes in the second and third day when they actually start doing what you say, even if its not perfect they are learning. and by the end of the week they know. In three weeks time, if you are dedicated they should have learned the skill.

I found that teaching Ryo before his evening meal is great because i can use his dog food, and he is anxious to do whatever i say because he was hungry in the first place.

Remember the key to your dog coming to you is making it the best experience ever for him! Just 10 minutes and even when you don't see progress keep doing it make it fun and it will work. Ryo is stubborn as well. I had him trained perfectly but since he is following me all the time i don't need to use come a lot, so now I am in a phase where i have to re-practice that with him to get him back up to speed. I have to redo heel as well. But he sits stays, and goes down really easily with no treat.

I hope that made sense, just make any small play time with ur baby a small training session, and you will see a world of difference.

Oh i forgot make the distance between u and ur dog larger little by little once he or she has mastered the basic COME command
