You call your dog by its name a zillion times but it doesn’t flinch, you despair and obviously it is of no use. What could you be doing wrong? We give you some clues to see if they help you change your attitude.
To begin, to get your furry to listen to you when you call him, you have to make him want to go with you , either because he sees fun in you or some advantage. The idea is that you associate your call with something positive .
It is obvious that if you call him with an aggressive tone or that he may perceive as something negative, he will not come. If someone called you on that plan, would you go? Of course not, because you will think that a storm is coming. Do self-examination and see if the tone with which you call him is friendly or just the opposite.
Another thing that you may be doing wrong is repeating the order several times without having allowed time to process it the first time or scolding him when he finally pays attention if he has not obeyed the first time. Ignore those failures and be satisfied that it has finally come.
Your dog will learn to go to you when you call him, if you practice with him several times a day, not just when you want him to go for something in particular. The practice is very simple and consists of calling him just because and congratulating him and rewarding him when he obeys . You can also make a game of these practices, hide around the house, call him and have him find you and then give him a small reward, such as a snack for dogs. There is nothing that motivates furry guys more than the game so it sure works and on top of that you both have a fun time. Two for one!
Surely by now you have gotten your pet to listen to you but the work does not end here and it is that, like everything, if something is not practiced, it is forgotten, so his thing is that you reinforce his good behavior and reward him when I do the right thing. When we talk about rewarding him, we mean giving him a snack that he likes but also some good caresses. Even if you think that what your dog values most in the world is food, your love is the most for him, listen to us.
