Use the same phrase, and do not switch words around, or he'll get confused.
Do not use 'Come, Stewie" for things like baths or brushing teeth or grooming. Only use it for things he likes at this point, like his toys or treats or a walk. |
Great advice!
The "come" command should always be a happy command, never angry. You should only call them to come in a happy voice and they should get nothing but paise when they come. If your puppy has done something wrong, go and ge them to reprimand him, do not make him come to be punished. It will make him think twice bout coming in an emergency when it an absolute necessity.
