Dogs, like
humans, are highly social animals and this similarity in
their overall behavioral pattern accounts for their
trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human
households and social situations.
"For the safety
of your puppy...the "come" command is the most important
command to teach."
The goal in teaching the "Come" command is to have a well
disciplined dog that can always be brought to your side
regardless of the situation. This is as much for your dog's
safety and protection as it is for your convenience.
My method of teaching "come" to a puppy involves the use of
a collar and a long leash or check cord. However, your puppy
needs to become adjusted to the sensation of the collar and
the effect of the leash. Don't start training until this is
done. We prefer a leash or cord that is at least 15 ft.
long. Also, choose a training time when there are no
distractions.
