We always, always, always give a treat for coming (assuming that you do train with treats, of course). And one thing that I learned from someone is to not only make sure the come to you, but also make sure they let you touch their harness before the treat. That will make sure they don't learn to just come and then dash away before you can grab 'em.
That being said, there are very few lucky people that have one that is 100% trustworthy.
And don't forget that in a crisis, running AWAY and back to safety yourself will usually get them to run after you. They don't want to miss anything cool you might be planning. |
It's great to have you as my new friend! Aparently my Coby is going to make sure that he keeps up with your Coby so tell me what is up his sleeve next.....lol....
I do train him with treats and I will start making sure I hold his harness before giving it to him from now on....he's always proving that he is smarter than me.....
