Teaching "Come!" Anybody have successful methods that can be executed by one person? Having a hard time with this one...thanks in advance. |
Have u tried with treats? hold a treat in ur hand and call ur baby to come to u, when he/she comes give the treat and PRAIS - works wonders here :D |
I agree...treats are like the dog version of candy. Great training aids as long as they are food motivated. Also make sure you associate words with the treats and soon the light switch will flip on. I always say for instance "come Teddy treat" and he almost breaks a leg he moves so fast to get to me. |
When we took one of our dogs (Auburn, a bloodhound) to training they advised us to use a long rope if there was only one person to work with the dog. When you say come give them a little time to come on their own and if they don't eventually pull them in and reward them when they get there(whether it be with treats or juts praise). They said start with a shorter distance and work your way up. Eventually the dog will start coming by themself. They also said to be really really really excited to make the dog want to come to you. The last thing they said was to say come when you know the dog will come to you. Like if the dog comes runnin when you put food down for him say "Rover Come" when you put the food down then again praise when he gets there. Just be patient and eventually the dog will learn, I'm not saying Reagan (our yorkie) knows it yet, but that's what everyone says, just be patient. |
For me I usually try to intiate the training session when Maddie is otherwise preoccupied, not hard with a puppy. If she's right near me I'll try to get her interested in a toy across the room. Once she's a way from me I crouch and say "Maddie, Come!" just about as excited as I can sound. I'm also trying to incorporate a hand signal so I do that at the same time. Most of the time she comes bolting at me full speed (exactly what she's supposed to do) so I praise her and give her the treat. Tom |

I have given up with that word. Stewie thinks "come" means "chase me around! i can run from you really fast!" I say comere (come here!) or (hey!) and he comes. When he ran out the front door on me and toward the street, I screamed "STEWIE, COME NOW!" in a blood curdling scream and he skidded to a stop and came back into the house. |
