Dogs aren’t actually headstrong. However, they often don’t understand precisely what they’re supposed to do. To make this crystal clear, you need to appropriate the alpha status up front. Be prepared to exhibit patience and resolute and firm force to produce the behavior wanted. This can be very challenging when teaching the command “come”.

Dogs enjoy exploring their environment naturally by sniffing all around the area, digging, turning things around and running away with little objects. A training session is best done when you keep your dog away from other distracting voices and people. A clear yard without any little objects is the best idea for such a purpose.

Be sure to build upon any spontaneous behavior you see. For instance when you see the dog coming at you, execute a verbal command along with a hand signal to support this behavior. Try to use a word and gesture that you don’t usually use during your teaching sessions.

To start, stand in front of the dog and get it in the sit position. Give the “stay” command as you move back several steps. Use the vocal and hand gesture command. Give the dog copious praise for appropriate behavior, but don’t give a reward for partial or wrong responses.

Repeat this as you continue moving back a couple more steps. If the dog approaches you prematurely, give the “sit-stay” command and try it again. If the dog doesn’t want to come at all you may have to use a toy or a snack to prompt him a little bit.

Some dogs may be reluctant or slow to learn. This is where you might need to do some leash training. The dog should be put in the sit position with the reinforcement of the ‘stay’ command. Start backing up, while letting the leash go loose and slack. A firm tug is needed upon the leash along with the appropriate voice and hand gestures, if the dog does not move.

For a dog that comes too soon, use a long rope or strap and wrap it around a post or a tree. If the dog tries to lift off early tug the leash as you vocalize the “stay” command. If there are no trees around, use someone to help with the session. The detrimental part about using someone else during the session is the dog can become confused about who they should obey. It’s always best if they just focus on one person.

Consistence as well as patience is necessary during training sessions. Human induced commands like sit, stay and come are not naturally understood by dogs. Yelling at the dog when it makes errors or does not obey your orders is quite a counterproductive exercise. You have to establish your alpha status by your body posture, a firm voice, and your patience while you wait for it to obey you. Physical leading and restraint is not such a helpful technique.

Dogs respond extremely quickly to praise when they execute proper behavior. You need to be resolute and make sure that they come when you order them to.
