Bentley was so stubborn too. Even when I would clap and whistle and slap my legs he would just stand there and stare. I saw a video that said you have to make it fun for them. So I would run and yell come and of course he would chase me. I would stop and then give him a treat. I repeated this several times. Then I would take a break and when he wasn't paying attention I would walk a few feet away and then say come and he would come and again I would give a treat. Now as much as possible I say Bentley to get his attention then come and act all excited like come, come on baby, woohoo in a high pitched voice lol and he comes running and I reward him.
I think the most important thing is you have to make them want to come like some have said show him his favorite toy or give him a treat EVERY time for a while until the command is solid. |
