“Come” comes in real handy when you own a dog and one of the most important commands you can teach your dog, for its safety and your own sanity. With a few simple steps you can have your dog “coming” on command. Start with your palm open offering a treat to your dog while saying “come” or “here”. When your dog touches your hand while taking the treat reward him/her verbally by saying “yes” or Good”. Repeat this three times.
.Now, offer your dog your empty open palm saying “come” or “here”. When your dog touches your hand say “yes” or “good” and quickly drop a treat into the target hand (the one it touches) and let her/him eat the treat. Repeat this 5 times.
Now, call “here” or “come” (always use the same command word) from several feet away having your hand out. Reward verbally when he/she touches it. Increase the distance when he/she gets good at following the command. Gradually add more challenges (like when he/she is distracted) until your dog’s response becomes reliable.
