How to Get Your Dog to Come When Called — Without Turning It Into a Battle
📌 Does your dog ignore you when you call them?
Would you like to get your dog to come when called — without turning it into a boring drill that ends all the fun?
Most traditional recall training does exactly that. Dogs quickly learn:
👉 “Come” means playtime is over
👉 “Come” means I’m about to get grabbed
👉 “Come” means something annoying happens next
✔️ So dogs stop coming — not because they’re stubborn, but because they’re learning.
✔️ Recall works when coming back is worth it.
✔️ Short sessions, real rewards, and practicing before distractions are overwhelming are what actually build a reliable recall.
