Today, let’s talk about the first item: recall.
Every time I call to Egwene (my Boxer): "Egwene, come on!" Egwene will hop and hop, behind her ears, with her mouth half open, and run towards me. And I will squat down, open my arms, and praise her non-stop when she runs towards me: "Good girl, good girl!" Egwene will plunge into my arms, I He will stroke her well, praise her while touching, and then throw out her favorite toys, or feed her delicious snacks, or play chasing games with her. Every time I see my pet dog running towards me at the fastest speed, this is the most heart-warming moment in the world.
As mentioned in the previous article, the secret to making your dog return as soon as it barks is that every time the dog returns to you, you can feel the warmth of spring. Let’s talk about it in detail this time:
The first step is to activate the recall password. Choose a password, which can be "come", "come back", "Come", etc. If the password you are currently using basically does not work for dogs, please change to a new password and follow this operation to practice. When the dog hears the password, he must think that a good thing that cannot be refused is about to happen. He must return to the owner as soon as possible, and he must not miss this good thing. The specific method is to say the password in front of the dog, and then feed the dog high-end snacks that the dog can’t usually eat, such as chicken breast, liver, etc., as long as it is a snack that the dog can’t stop when it sees it, repeat the practice until the dog says the password. The dog just looks at you with bright eyes and asks for a snack. The dog doesn't need to actually move towards you, just eat the snack by your side.
The second step is to lead the dog, say the password, and then run away from the dog. The dog will run in the same direction with you. After running for 3-5 meters, stop and reward the dog with a few snacks. It would be nice to play with your dog with his favorite toy, or throw a ball, or play pull.
The third step, after the second step is proficient, find the dog not far from you, but when the attention is not on you, and the environment is moderately attractive to the dog, say the password and run away 5-10 meters immediately , When the dog chases you and runs to you, reward him with snacks, toys, etc.
The fourth step, after the third step is practiced, you can repeat the third step at home, in a closed environment, etc., when the dog is not being led.
The fifth step is to use a leash of 10 meters or longer. The leash is used to ensure that the dog will not run away and stay within a safe range. Do not use the leash to pull the dog. When the dog is far away from you, Say the password and run away, and when the dog catches up to you, reward him with a treat or a toy.
The sixth step is to invite family members or friends to participate in the training. You say the password, and they talk to the dog while the dog is running towards you. Then increase the difficulty, hold a treat or toy and stand on the way the dog must pass towards you to attract the dog, and even throw the treat or toy in your hand for fun. If the dog is attracted away, lower the difficulty level of these distractions and increase the reward level for the dog coming back to you.
Repeat the practice and go to various environments and situations to practice, and soon you will be able to practice perfect recall! Come on!
