how to teach your dog to come to you

Teaching your dog to come to you is a rather basic element of dog training, but it's not as simple as it sounds and it's important to the dog's safety. Because a young puppy tends to come or follow naturally, the need for frequent reinforcement of this command is often overlooked. Then the pup reaches adolescence and starts going its own way, possibly into trouble. Dog behavior author, Brandy Oliver, outlines the key steps in teaching a dog to come to you reliably. See her recommendations in this DoggieDoor article on tone of voice, chasing a puppy, and more. Your dog's life may depend on it.
