HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO NOT COME WHEN CALLED

HOW TO TEACH YOUR DOG TO NOT COME WHEN CALLED



Call your dog to you, then give him a bath. Or clip his nails, your choice; just be sure to pick the one he really, really hates.

Take your dog someplace he loves to go, like the park, or to play with a friend’s dog. Wait until he’s really having fun, then call him to you. Immediately load him in the car and drive him home.

This one works especially well for small dogs: Call your dog to you, then swoop down on him with both arms, making sure to look as frightening as possible as you pick him up. Now, that might not stop him from coming to you altogether, but it pretty much guarantees that he’ll stop just out of arm’s reach.

Call your dog, then immediately put him away somewhere (crate, behind a gate) and leave, preferably for a full day. A great choice for dogs who hate to be left alone.

Call your dog and tell him it's time for his walk - then take a phone call. Call him back again, then forget your keys, call him back when you've found them... to put on your shoes...

If your dog somehow slips out the front door or maybe through your back gate, be sure to yell at him when he comes back home or when you catch him.

Call your dog to come and do nothing. No pet, no praise… nothing
