How To Train A Dog

There are plenty of obvious reasons why come command should be included in your Labrador training.  In fact, it is one of the most vital basic commands every dog must learn to ensure safety.  Once the come command or recall is mastered, possibly perilous situation can be stopped by calling him to you.  Apart from safety reasons, mastery of the come command also gives your lab bigger freedom in some scenarios.  You can permit him to run unreservedly when you’re out in the beach understanding that he will always reply every time you call. 

In some cases, training a Labrador with come command can be tricky given the fact that this breed is sometimes described as fearless and often mislabeled as hyperactive.  But nothing is unachievable with correct Labrador training tips.  Here is some recommendation to help you train your Labrador with the come command:

– Start training indoors with your dog on leash.  Say your dog’s name followed by the word “come.” Do it in such a manner that will attract or inspire your pet to come (using excited tone, having treats prepared). 

– Praise him as soon as he comes to you. 

– If your Labrador doesn’t come, tug the leash slightly to attract and encourage him to come.  Bear in mind not to drag the leash cruelly to prevent your dog from associating the command with something negative. 

– After he has mastered the command indoors, steadily train the command out of doors and off leash in a fenced-in yard. 

– Use the command regularly (during dinner, playtime, to give treats) and never use it to call your dog for negative things like punishment or baths.

– When you are teaching the come command, or any other command in fact, and your dog doesn’t respond, don’t chase him around.  Though it’s driving you nuts, wait until he comes and if he does, never give punishment for it will only associate the command to something negative. 

– Labradors are smart dogs but do not expect this command can be mastered in one session only.  Commence with the very basic and steadily build on it.  Training sessions also should be short as well as pleasurable.
