How do I teach my puppy to come?
Start by backing away from your puppy 1 to 3 feet and wiggle a food treat or a favored toy (prompt) in front of its nose. At the same time say the puppy’s name and “come.” Use a happy inviting tone of voice. When your puppy comes to you, praise it lavishly and give the treat or toy. Then repeat.

How do I get my Dog to come when called?
There is no right answer, but you do need to be consistent. And obviously, your verbal command should be short and consistent such as “come” or “here” or “front.” Practice in challenging environments. Sure, most dogs will come when called in an uneventful atmosphere such as the living room.
Should I Call my Dog if he won’t come to me?
So, unless your dog is in danger, don’t call him unless you are 99 percent sure you can get him to come to you. This might mean he is wearing a long leash so you can “reel” him in. And of course, make sure his dog ID tags are up to date, even when he’s not going to be off leash.
How long does a town have to hold a dog?
The time a municipality has to hold a dog may be governed by local ordinance or state statute. Again, this varies from state to state, town to town, but usually the length of time is anywhere from five (5) to seven (7) days. In some states, the time period may be shorter.
Why is my dog being punished for not coming when called?
That’s right… the dog thinks its being punished for: COMING WHEN CALLED! And because any living creature becomes less likely to do things he’s punished for in the future… you’ve just trained him to be even WORSE at coming when he’s called next time.
