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!

How To Train Your Dog

How did you train your dog to use a doggy door?

We just bought & installed a doggy door for our two dogs. Both are over 2 years old, so this will be a new thing for them!! How did you train your dog to use a doggy door?

Sometimes, just encouraging the dog isn't enough. Some dogs belive the door is a wall, or are afraid of it. Tape it securely in the open position. Or fasten it in some other manner, just make sure it won't fall on your dogs when they go through. Once they go through it often, lower it about a quarter of the way. If this scares them at first, put a treat on the other side. Then lower it completely. If they don't go through and treats don't work, just show them it opens when they want to get through. this, combined with what you did before, will get most dogs to use the door.
