We start by sitting on the floor, 2 people with the dog between the 2 of you and one person call the dog, treat and praise when they come, then the other person call the dog and treat and praise and so on. Move further and further apart over time. We do several short sessions a day everyday. When we watch TV, we sit across the room from each other and call/treat/praise. After they understand, you can do the same when you take them outdoors, little bit at a time. Always call your dog happy, never scold when they come to you.
This works for us. |
