How to Guarantee Your Dog Will NOT Come When Called

The re-call is one of the easiest commands to train but one of the quickest to trash. Many owners wreck their dog’s desire to come when called by doing one or all of the following:

* Calling the dog when they’re angry.

* Calling the dog when they’re about to do something he doesn’t like (for instance, nail clipping and bathing).

* Calling the dog to put on his leash at the dog park.

* Calling the dog to be place in confinement.

* Waiting to praise the dog until he gets to them.

* Not rewarding the dog sufficiently.

* Calling their off-leash dog to come before he is trained.

Call your dog frequently during off-leash play sessions. When he comes back to you, allow him know how happy you are and then inform him to go back and play again. You are accomplishing two vital things here: checking to make sure your dog complies and teaching your dog that coming to you does not signify the end of play, but somewhat a pleasant time out for reward.
