I read a good article that gave...Oh, man--scary!!!<br /><br />I read a good article that gave the following sequence for teaching the recall command:<br />First, just sit with your pup and say the word, then treat them. Do this daily, several times a day, for a week or so.<br /><br />Then put them on a 20' lead and do the "sit-come" sequence with the treat.<br /><br />When they are completely responsive to that, start working off lead. Then start rewarding only every other time and slowly taper off.<br /><br />I liked it because I know from experience that dogs who associate a word VERY STRONGLY with something good will respond to that word long after you change the pattern. I have a dog now, and I've had one before, who both learned to bring their own leashes to me whenever they thought they might get to go out. Buddy associates the word "leash" with getting to go to the dog park; Maggie had a similar association. But the funny thing is, the word is SO exciting to them that even if we are AT the dog park and I'm ready to go home, I can say "leash!" and they will come even if other words fail. Yesterday, it brought Buddy away from three German Shepherd puppies he was playing with after he was not responsive to COME, BALL, or a very sharp use of his name. mejakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672224251678977229noreply@blogger.com
