In obedience class we teach the "come" comand this way.
First your dog needs to walk on a leash, not necessarily at your side, just keep the leash short. Walk a ways, then take the end lof the leash and walk backwards, pulling the dog towards you calling come come come, then reel them in to right in front of you and give them a treat. Just keep repeating this over and over until they come without you pulling on the leash.
how ever chances are they will ignore you if they are off leash out in public. they have to be around 2 before they get out of the puppy phase of wanting to investigate everything. |
