Teach Your Dog to Come
Wed, February 08, 2012Teach your dog to 'come' on command by practicing at home with a long leash first, then graduate to working outside with no leash. Your command should be happy, but firm and end with a treat reward. Always use this command for something happy (for a trip to the vet or a bath, go get your dog instead).
