Dog Training - How to get your dog to come back when called

[Realityis1]

He then ran after them ignoring my commands until finally a block down the park, I was able to catch his harness and secure him to his lead. I have tried EVERYTHING and train him on a regular basis -- I am at my ends witt.. PLEASE HELP Thank you P.S when I catched him I did not say anything negative, I just simply walked on.

[Realityis1]

Hello,

I have a 1 year old Lab who does not listen to me when playing in the park. Today was the worst day EVER as he ran off with some people who were walking their dogs. At first these dogs were off the lead but shortly after the other owners dog started barking at mine (trying to stop it from playing with the smaller dog) at the point the dog was put on a lead where they started to walk off. However, as I called my dog Zeus and even showed him his ball and threw it too.. He is ignored

[shanedlfc]

the state of d quality!

[csaey23]

is it weird that i come here to help my dog learn to come back when he is called and the dog he is using has my name 0_O

[smokeyab920]

i remember when I was a kid, my dog was never on a leash and always stayed with me. My neighbor has a yorkie that is never on leash and never ever goes in the street.He just comes out into his yard, occasionally my yard and then goes home with his daddy. If my dog sees another dog, forget it, hes gone.

[codegameraol]

wat if your dog never comes bacck to the house

[vBulletinzz]

I have a problem with my 3 months GSD puppy, when im walking with him if he see other people he run to them but when i call him he wont come to me

[redman9pablo]

@vBulletinzz i have the same problem with my 3 month old chocolate lab puppy

[SmartAceHole82]

i got a boxer lack of excitment isn't an issue

[BethanyBytes]

Great video! I need help. I have a rescue GSD & Lab mix who's been in 3 homes + 6 months in an enclosure at a shelter. Great in the house but if he sees daylight he is gone! Will only come to the car but anyone's car. he circles it I'm afraid he will get hit. No fences allowed in my rural community so he can travel far if he escapes. How can I get him to come to me when he escapes? I tried treats but so far hasn't worked.

[gdi75]

Thanks so much for all your videos! They are helping with our whippet puppy.

[dublinandy]

Could you just call his name instead of using "come" or "come here"?

[catrinachen123]

My dog was missing. Normally if im there with her she would always come back to me. But now, she doesn't!

[425ashlee]

i did that to my jack russell ,she looked at me and then started looking around for something to chase. she might as well walk herself, my cat listens better.

[eleberth]

VERY USEFULL VIDS MAN CONGRATS! KEEP THE GOOD WORK

[marcsanchez74]

Doesn't this method set your dog up to run and jump all over you when he first sees you such as when you first walk in through the door or something like that?

[mosesbustos32]

my dog is generally obedient. but im still scared to let him off the leash with traffic around. how can i fix this?

[noelabiang]

the question is how to keep it consistent?

[OneWithGuns93]

I cant even let my dog outside of the fence when its not on a lease because all it does is go running around exploring everything.

do you have any advice?

[PITBULL1625]

my dog knows ho to come back when called....but when he sees any type of animal he start chasing it...what should i do?

[TheFlashback1994]

thanx ur a great help

[klkbabyloka]

welcome to my world

[bubbly384]

hey, can anyone help me? my german shepard-husky-australian shepard, Roxy, is TERRIBLE off the leash. She was even knicked by a car once! Shes run away at night, up a hill, yadda yadda yadda. But the bad thing is, she the biggest whimp in the world. She scared of everything, even our microwave! If she ever got off the leash and we couldnt find her, shed be toast. We have a pretty big yard, and were considering an electric fence, but the economy isnt so fab. any help?

[klkbabyloka]

welcome to my world.........do you walk your dog??pliz enser.

[bubbly384]

we walk her on a 6-foot indestructable leash, but lately we've connected two of them so she has more room and gets used to being away from us on the leash and still having to be in the general area.

[klkbabyloka]

wow thats good. :)

[bubbly384]

teehee :-) heres some advice--carry a treat bag in your pocket. (kibble or something, idk) and whenever your dog goes to far away, say, "_____ come back" and show them the treat. repeat this over and over again in the walk, and slowly fade th treats. thats how were helping roxy, and its working but this video is great too :-)

[klkbabyloka]

thank you so much for your advice!!

[bubbly384]

no prob :-) glad im not alone haha

[Ambiguboy]

@sugarismyhorse - No, you'd need a lawyer maybe. If you're a deer hunter and that dog is a tracking dog, then yeah. In the future, a regular application of human urine to the affected area will reduce the visits by deer. You can also buy wolf urine. If they put down dogs everytime they chased a deer because they SAW one, there wouldn't be any dogs. The laws are against tracking dogs running deer. I could defend you in court on that one, and I'm not even a lawyer! Praise her and grow some peas.

[registration429]

I have tired just about everything my dog was a stray I got her about five months ago. I can't get her to come at all and when she gets loose or if she runs out the door I can never get her back. I just had to run after her for about an hour. I need help I am afraid she is going to get hurt or lost. Please if you can help that would be great.

[klkbabyloka]

i have the same prob wit my samoyed-husky....i am so down because this morning he ran away..we had to chase him..he thinks we playing a game....

[sixthday132]

I train police K9's and the advice by Bubbly 384 is sound. If you have a very high drive ball or toy driven dog you can use that as payment as well. In the early stages of the dogs training I believe you should make your dog pay you for everything. If he wants to eat..make him sit, if he wants water, make him sit. If he wants to go out, make him lie down by the door first. And everytime he returns to you make it a point to pay him with a treat or his ball. Make it a reflex action for him.

[ChuzmaRobot]

Great video. Thanks for the info.

[sunspung]

Also, this dog of ours that chases cars is only about 2 yrs old if that, and he's been doing this for at least a year. He has been hit 3 times, but never got hurt much. His chin bled one time, and once he limped and held his paw up for a week or so, but nothing worse than that. He was back to running around like always and jumping up and down, etc., like he always does, very soon after he got hurt each time. I guess that's why it didn't teach him a lesson. Since he still does it. He's little.

[sunspung]

I need to know how to get your dog to stop chasing cars. No houses in our neighborhood have fences (unallowed by the Neighborhood Assoc.) Dogs are let outside w/out a leash & run freely (they stay w/in a 1/2block of home tho)A few dogs near us (now ours too) have the terrible habit of chasing cars (or bikes,motorcycles,joggers etc)Our dog has even been (barely) hit THREE times& still does it!If I happen 2 b out when he does it,I can yell my lungs out but nothing'll make him stop.WHAT WILL?

[zippyzee]

great vids man u have good camera presence

[eletendre1]

Thanks zippyzee!

[nicksypixy]

what if there are a pack of dogs and your pup still ignores?

[2354bill6]

pit bulls are evil

[LeoTheHood]

If trained properly he won't ignore i promise 100%

[MLVFilms]

I have a 8 week old bluenose pitbull and i did just that and he came to me and LEARNED his name. :)

[marcomaster44]

mi weimarainer doesnt obey

[SCgibbo]

Your a hottie

[CWPGOD]

[princeofkiller]

good nice vid make more man ppl will love it

[BellesAngels]

I just tried this with my dog and it worked really well. Thanks Eric!

[Iraqigangsta0]

i dun have a dog but its awesome listening and watching to ur videos make more =D

[gabrielitarose]

i don't even have a dogggg... :(

[JotaLMusic]

y why you see this vid....

[dynasty5278]

i got my BC at 9 weeks old and it was their favorite people so they tought him some stuff which isnt what i wanted. when i say his name, he immediately sits down and stays (he's VERY obedient)and he doesnt come when im being excited but he comes running when i crouch down. how can i make him come while standing?

[kimhunter2]

start crouched down by pointing to a spot on the ground by touching it , (a tiny treat on the spot if you must) slowly raise each "here", eventually you can stand and point down to the spot.

[SANDYBOWLS]

my dog will ignore me if i dont have a treat

[Workingsheepdogs]

When you're working with positive reinforcement, which is really really great that you do, always remember to keep the treats in your pocket UNTIL the dog does what you want! As an instinct, dogs are only doing things that they win something by doing. So your dog is absolutly normal! Keep on training!!

[aliyoung9]

lol

[BabyEeyore509]

my dogs like that too hes the "i better have attention" type too keep trying

[alice0cullen0]

my dog was like that for a while, you should show them the treat but only give it to them every second time, then every third time, then only occasionaly. eventually you wont even need treats!!! It only took my dog (10 weeks old) a few hours to learn this way!

[gamblem46]

very nice dog man

[mattmon33]

my dog justs runs of and make us catch it for fun

[jsi106]

same with my dog. he finds rock more exciting than me

[mconde123]

a rock.. lol hahahaha

[sklorpion]

u gotta be gr8!

[alice0cullen0]

yeah, my dog prefers leaves to me :(

[tommydcat]

What do I do if I don't have someone to hold the leash?

[kadu1669]

Go out and make some friends.

[mconde123]

what if his a loner. lol

[akanigga]

lol sad.

[tommydcat]

My friends don't hang around when I'm out training my dog. What an unnecessarily smart ass comment to leave. Fuck you.

My dog comes to me fine now. Thank you to the author of this video.

[Durzallan]

Hi my name is lisa i have a new german shep. puppy and she is 4 months i cant get her to speak or to listen while out side do you have any advice

[Brussell889]

With this method, will the owner be required to "excite" the dog everytime he calls it? Furthermore, how old should the dog be before training becomes effective. My puppy is 7 weeks old and she doesnt respond "too" well to training. Is this due to her age?

[RomeTotalWarLegend]

if you dog has had it's needles to verify it can go out doors without catching bugs,

then i would start training it now.

[xxfiloxx]

you are awesome dude

[linditatata]

and how many times i have to do it

[RandomePotatoRocks]

Very Nice Job on your videos. It helped my pomeranian. I have your book also and it is very help full! Good Job. =]

[elcooperino92]

my dog under stands the command but only does it when he feels like wic is never if he of the leash out side

[Raincloud916]

wow that's so helpful. I've always had trouble with gettig my dog to come to me outside.

[eletendre1]

Thank you, glad you found the video useful.

Eric

[mischaboo]

this vid is great, but my dog is super stubborn. she is a 10 month old black lab. i tried this advice and all kinds of books, trainers, and techniques. she can be the most well behaved dog, but as soon as she is off leash she wont even look at you, let alone come when called. i need advice pleeeeaasee!!!! i just dont know what to do with her.

[eletendre1]

You can read the article that I wrote about this on my blog. The title of the article is: "How to significantly increase your dogs chances of coming back when you call." You can read the article at AmazingDogTrainingMan dot blogspot dot com.

[MileyCyrus700]

Lol my dog never comes

[henrylordskowalski]

a really good and original technique, havent tried it yet but amongst the best ive seen !

[eletendre1]

Thank you!

[lostbluedot]

Thank you so much for posting these vids!

[eletendre1]

Your welcome.

[UCHIHAxBITCH]

i have a 6 month old staffordshire bull terrier people are saying not to lrt that breed of its lead is this true ?

[ez0r]

It's a bit strange to say that "this breed can't be let off it's leash" as some sort of dogma. It always depends. First off, you should always keep your dog on the leash when there's anything around that's potentially dangerous or where you don't want your dog to go, such as a road, or other people who might be scared of your dog. No matter how well you train your dog, you can never be a 100% sure that it won't run away if something completely unexpected comes up.

[ez0r]

But on the other hand, it is important to have your dog run free often, so you should head to woodland areas where your dog can roam without getting into trouble. As for breed specifics, in the end every dog is different, and it's completely plausible for you to have a calmer bullterrier than someone else's hyperactive golden retriever, especially when you take training into consideration.

[eletendre1]

It's all up to the training. You can teach ANY dog to come when called off leash.

[ladylish05]

I have a Siberian Husky (8 mo) and Black Lab (6 mo) I watched the 2nd part of this training video and you said it is a mistake to get mad and say "come" I have made that mistake so i was wondering is it reversable so that I can successfully teach them the "come" command? They will come to me inside but outside. It is to distrating i guess. Do you have advise on how to keep thier attention so that they will be safe from running in the street if I take them off the leash?

[ez0r]

I'm not the best expert on this since my dog is still so young, but according to everything I've read, heard and seen, your best bet is just to start it all from the beginning, and take a really organized approach to the whole thing. Start by visiting the library for some puppy books.

[lilaj50cent]

i have a bichon freeze . (incase you dont know the breed its like a poodle)

do u think this might be effective?

[boxervix]

im going to get a rottweiller soon, are they easy to train like german shepards? i mean all dogs can be trained by effort.

[eletendre1]

Rottis are very smart and easy to train. Any breed of dog can be trained.

Best,

Eric

[devilishlameo]

THANKS!!!!!!!=))

[eletendre1]

Your welcome! Eric

[eletendre1]

I took my first dog to an obedience class when I was 10 years old. I started working professionally with dogs in 1988. Since that time I have never stopped learning about dog behavior and training. It is a fascinating subject. Thank you for your comments and I'm glad you enjoy them.

All the best,

Eric

[tunnytunnytunny]

[CPan3]
