1. Never call your dog for anything unpleasant .
2. Never call your dog if you are not sure he will come . All recalls should be successful recalls.
3. If you call your dog and s/he doesn’t come, you must make it happen . Run over to him and put a treat/toy in front of his nose, backing up as you get his attention so he follows you.
4. Never repeat the cue. Resist the urge! Call once and, if necessary, use rule 3. Make the recall happen humanely!
5. Recall = Reward EVERY TIME. If you want your dog to stop whatever interesting doggie thing he is doing and come running to you, make it worth his while. Use extra yummy treats— tasty treat, a toy, a game, something the dog enjoys, and EVERY time. There is no cue that is more important - make sure you make it the most rewarding behavior your dog knows.
