How do you teach your dog to come to you?
I've trained my dog to sit, lay down. She's eager to please, but refuses to come when called. I try not to approach / run after her because then it becomes a "Catch me if you can game", which she enjoys. I've tried treats, but they only work if I have them in hand..
I had a trainer come to my house- and we worked on clicker training. Have your dog sit/stay. Then use a hand jesture (coming.. to you) and say " COME" very eager and happy. You should do this with an open hand , so your dog does not get used to a treat all the time. Once your dog comes , you can use the clicker ( they will get used to hearing the sound)make physical contact ( so your dog gets used to that) and then treat. Continue on.. maybe 2 x with no treat, 1 time with a treat, etc.etc. Remember if you CLIck you treat.
If you dont want to use the clicker- then just be VERY Happy when your dog COMES. You can start out with a treat in your hand.. if he doesnt come at all.. or keep yelling " come,, pat your legs, etc.. whatever gets him going.- and then slowly not..using a treat..etc.
It takes patience..
Teach your dog to come to you!
