There are plenty of clear reasons why come command should be included in your Labrador training. In fact, it is one of the most important basic commands each dog must learn so as to guarantee safety. Once the come command or recall is mastered, probably perilous situation can be stopped by calling him to you. Aside from safety reasons, mastery of the come command also gives your lab greater freedom in some eventualities. You can allow him to run freely when you're out in the beach realizing that he will always reply every time you call.
In a few cases, training a Labrador with come command can be a challenge given the proven fact that this breed is commonly described as fearless and frequently mislabeled as hyperactive. But nothing is impossible with correct Labrador training tips. Here is some recommendation to help train your Labrador with the come command:
- Start training indoors with your dog on leash. Say your dog's name followed by the word "come." Do it in such a fashion that may attract or encourage your pet to come (using excited tone, having treats ready).
- Praise him as soon as he comes to you.
- If your Labrador doesn't come, tug the leash slightly to draw in and encourage him to come. Bear in mind not to tug the leash harshly to stop your dog from associating the command with something negative.
- Once he has mastered the command inside, gradually train the command out of doors and off leash in a fenced-in yard.
- Use the command continually (during dinner, playtime, to give treats) and never use it to call your dog for negative things like punishment or baths.
- When you are teaching the come command, or any other command in fact, and your dog does not respond, do not chase him around. Though it's driving you nuts, wait till he comes and if he does, never give punishment for it'll only associate the command to something negative.
- Labradors are perceptive dogs but don't expect this command can be mastered in one session only. Start with the very basic and continuously build upon it. Training sessions also should be short as well as delightful.
