๐ถ โCOME HERE!โ โฆ NOTHING. ๐
Does your dog suddenly forget its name the moment you call it?
You call onceโฆ twiceโฆ five timesโฆ and your dog just looks at you like youโre speaking another language! ๐๐
๐ง DOG TRAINING TIP: RECALL
Repeatedly calling your dog when it ignores you can accidentally teach it that the command doesnโt matter.
Your dog may learn that โCOME HERE!โ is just background noise because nothing changes when it ignores you.
๐พ So, what should you do?
โ
Teach your dog what โcomeโ means in a quiet, distraction-free environment.
โ
Say the command once and give your dog a chance to respond.
โ
Reward your dog when it comes to you.
โ
Practise regularly and gradually introduce more distractions.
โ ๏ธ Remember: Don't keep shouting the same command louder and louder. Build the behaviour first, then practise it in more challenging environments.
The goal is to make coming to you worthwhile for your dog! ๐โค๏ธ
๐ฏ Recall can be trained.
