this video is about the first building ,
block of having a dog that is reliable ,
off leash I'm talking about of course ,
coming when called first of all I would ,
introduce the key to teaching this ,
reliably and effectively to any dog we ,
have to ensure that every single time ,
the dog comes to us it has a very ,
pleasant consequence for them never ever ,
call your dog for something that they're ,
not going to enjoy for some dogs this ,
might be getting their nails trimmed or ,
going home from the park every dog is ,
different but if you know your dog then ,
you will know the things that they like ,
and the things they don't like say the ,
word come only before they get all the ,
good things for example call your dog ,
before going for a walk so they're calm ,
good girl before they get to play with ,
toys come and before dinner come the key ,
is to protect your Kube if we say the ,
word come without being in a position to ,
enforce it and the dog chooses not to ,
come then what we've actually taught the ,
dog is that the word come means nothing ,
never say the word come unless a you're ,
sure that the dog is going to do it or ,
be your able to enforce it with a long ,
leash I want to show you an exercise ,
that you can work on with your dog in a ,
distracting setting to help teach them ,
to come for this you're going to need a ,
long line preferably 20 to 30 feet some ,
treats that your dog really loves ,
clicker or a strong verbal marker like ,
yes and a lot of consistency remember to ,
always practice on the long line until ,
your dog is fully reliable reason why it ,
is so important to keep your dog in a ,
long leash is because there is no other ,
way to set them up for success you ,
to start off with the shorter distance ,
at first if you have done your homework ,
your dog should respond fairly easily ,
okay come good girl very good okay you ,
see what I did there as soon as she ,
turned towards me I clicked to let her ,
know that I liked what she just did and ,
her reward is on its way if you're not ,
using a clicker you can say a word like ,
yes or simply start praising the dog ,
avoid the common mistake of waiting ,
until they're all the way in front of ,
you to praise them if you've tried this ,
and your dog is not responding to the ,
word come it could be for a number of ,
reasons maybe the food that we're using ,
isn't high enough in value or they ,
simply prefer to sniff at this point in ,
time what you can do here is to use the ,
long leash and give it a gentle tug to ,
guide the dog towards you you don't want ,
to yank or pull on the leash hard you ,
just want to show them that this is what ,
you expect them to do as you're doing ,
this encourage your dog by talking to ,
them in a happy tone of voice this is ,
probably far more overlooked than ,
anything else when teaching a dog to ,
come get in the habit of releasing your ,
dog every single time to go back to ,
whatever they were doing ,
oh snap we want to convey the message ,
that just because they've been called ,
doesn't mean the fun is over it just ,
means that you have to come and then you ,
can go back to whatever you were doing ,
the idea is that eventually the release ,
will become the real reward so you will ,
no longer have to feed them treats every ,
single time if your dog likes to fetch ,
this would be a good time to throw a toy ,
for them to go after so they have come ,
yes go get it ,
good job when you start to build on ,
distance timing will have a big impact ,
on how quick the dog responds notice how ,
high time the clicks here say I come ,
good girl Thalia come ,
good today I come good job I think it's ,
important to say that no amount of ,
training will make the dog 100% reliable ,
but you can get pretty close practice in ,
different environments and always quit ,
while you're ahead ,
teaching something slowly always ,
produces better results this is one of ,
those things you really can't teach as a ,
task or a chore you do have to be very ,
patient and consistent but teaching a ,
dog to do anything is about making it a ,
fun and enjoyable experience
