We have (unleashed) "doggie time" at around 5:30 every day in my condo community commons' area with all of our neighbors who have dogs (and that's MOST).....and Sully is the best behaved and well-minded out of ALL of the dogs out there!
We got him to respond to the "come HERE" command (with our finger pointing toward the ground stiffly) - when Sully was a puppy. My husband and I took him to an open field, where it was just Eli, Sully, and me and Eli (my hubby) would stand about 10 yards away from me and we'd sweetly call Sully back and fourth and back and fourth. When he did come, he'd get lots of praise!!! He learned what "come HERE" meant pretty quickly!
And honestly, his knowledge of this command has really kept him from danger many times! It's a great thing for a dog to learn, if only for their own safety! |
