for example, if the dog doesn't like to be bathed. don't say 'come' and then wash the dog once she/he comes to you. you just go get the dog in this case.
only do fun things that the dog enjoys when you call them to come to you.  |
What does your instructor say when they go under the dining room table when it's bath time? Do you know how many times I have clunked my head on the bottom of the table trying to grab Sophie! LOL! It was quite painful but funny at the same time.
