So Since it is summer I wanted to touch on the come when call topic. A lot of you want to let your dogs off leash in the back yard. Great, but you must have a strong recall. You need to feel confident that in any situation you can say your dog's name and know your dog will come. Like any command recall takes practice, a lot of practice. This command also takes a lot of treats, yes high value treats. You need to teach your dog that when I call you, Come and something very good will happen. Yes at some point you can phase out the treats, like with any command but don't do it to early. You should have at least a 90% success rate at any command, ESPECIALLY recall. When you have a 90% success rate in a backyard, with minimal distraction, great! This does not mean you will have the same success at the dog park so load your pockets with high value treats and practice in new scenarios with new distractions and longer distances.
Keep Practicing and Happy Training! Remember: "Properly trained, a man can be a dog's best friend" - Corey Ford Pool Time:
Half-fill a kiddie pool with water and throw a few of your dog's favorite toys in there. Many breeds including Retrievers, Spaniels and Terriers will love diving in and out of the splash pool over the day. Cool Bandana: Wet a bandana and pop it in the freezer to make an icy cooling bandana for your dog. |
