Training Your Dog to Come When Called.
Dog Training on remote mountain.
Important to always keep your dog supervised and under your control unless trained to an advanced level, if you find you have no alternative but to train your dog in less remote areas with the constant threat of danger to your dog or other pedestrian or vehicular traffic, then you will need to consider the old adage of menholdingdogs as a last resort to protect your family dog from danger, or conducting dog training sessions in a remote area free from pedestrian or vehicular distractions as the safety of your dog and other pedestrians or vehicular users is of paramount importance and must be your priority as a caring dog owner.
Dog training needs to be a personal dog training exercise not only between the dog caring owner and the family dog but also the training needs to be accomplished absolutely without any distractions from outside influences. The ideal solution would be to select a quiet area away from any socialized areas with few if any pedestrian traffic. The ideal area which I have access too is a remote area within driving distance from our home, which is called Witchmountain with this area being at a convenient distance for vehicle travel yet extremely remote with very little distraction from passing pedestrians, joggers or horse riders.
Witchmountain is the perfect area to participate in dog training as it’s the equivalent to your canine friend going back to its wild dog roots with the only sign of modern life is the very vehicle we use for transport and the now essential dog treats, dog leash and dog collar, with a few essential dog toys I regularly use when dog training so as to reinforce the bonding process with some friendly fun time ‘tug-of-war’ and ‘dog chewy toys’ in between the dog training sessions.
Training my dog at Witchmountain to come to me when it is called is a vital, and potentially lifesaving part of your dog’s survival in the concrete jungle, as an uncontrolled dog running amok close to vehicular traffic can become fatal for unleashed and untrained family dog and any unsuspecting passersby, availability of the remote and wild area of Witchmountain is as I believe a crucial and essential part of any successful dog training program which ultimately eliminate any unnatural intrusion. All properly trained dogs must learn to respond instantly to the owner’s voice, and the sooner this lesson is learned the better.
The advantages of teaching a dog to come when called are obvious. For starters, coming when called will help you regain control of the dog in case the fancy dog collars break, snapped leash or other similar equipment failure. This is particularly important when you are out with your dog, especially in an area with lots of traffic. It is vital that the dog responds to your voice and return to your side, even in the absence of collar and leash, although caution must be exercised when your dog is unsupervised as any type of fright can have fatal conclusion if for any reason, your family dog collides with fast moving vehicles, so keeping your dog under verbal control even if there are lots of other things competing for its attention is essential, although extreme care must be exercised especially when training your dog initially in a remote area like witchmountain.
Coming when called is also a vital skill for every working dog. Whether the dog’s job is herding sheep, guarding livestock, or sniffing out bombs and drugs at the airport, the working dog must be under total control at all times, whether on leash or off.
Even if your dog’s only job is being a loyal companion, it is still vital that he learn this important basic obedience exercise. After the first obedience lessons, such as heeling, stopping on command, sitting on command, etc. have been learned, it is time to start incorporating the come when called lessons into the daily training sessions.
One note about dog training – it is all too easy for dog training sessions to become dull and routine for both handler and dog. A bored dog will not be receptive to learning, just as a bored handler will not be a good teacher. It is important, therefore, to always incorporate fun things and play into every training session, such as incorporating fun time using a dog toy or a dog chewy toy and devise a fun loving game lasting for about fifteen to thirty minutes of relaxing fun time which will further enhance the bonding between both caring dog owner and his or her loyal canine companion. Incorporating a few minutes of play time before the lesson begins can do wonders for the attitude of dog and human alike.
Likewise, ending each training session with a few minutes of free play time is a great way to end on a positive note and to help the dog associate obedience training with fun and not drudgery. When training your dog it is crucial you eliminate risks especially in the initial stages of dog training to select if fortunate, a remote area like Witchmountain, where you can training your dog the basic to more finer skills of verbal commands to perfection and yet feel absolutely confident your family dog will remain safe whatever adverse issues arise.
The command to stay and the command to come when called are often combined in obedience training lessons, and they do go naturally together. Start with the dog on a loose leash, ask the dog to sit and then slowly back away. If the dog begins to get up and follow you, return to the dog and ask him to sit again. Continue this process until you can reach the end of the leash without the dog getting up.
After you can successfully reach the end of the leash on a consistent basis, try dropping the leash altogether. Of course you will want to do this in a controlled environment like a fenced in yard. After the dog has mastered the stay command, it is time to add the come when called command.
Take up the leash again, and with the dog on the end of the leash, say “come” or “come here”. It is often helpful to use a lure when teaching this behavior. The lure provides a visible item for the dog to focus on. Teaching the dog to come to the lure is a good first step in training the dog to come when called.
Repeat this procedure many times until the dog will consistently stay and then come when called. After the dog has mastered coming when called while attached to the dog leash, slowly start introducing the concept when the leash is removed. As before, these training sessions should only take place in a controlled, safe environment, such as a fenced in front or back yard. Although it is important as a caring dog owner your dog must be in best of health as dog training can be strenuous, and this importantly must be relevant to the dog food you feed your dog which would need to be a natural raw dog food diet, usually known as dehydrated raw dog food.
A well trained, obedient dog should respond to the call to return to its owner no matter where it is and no matter what distractions may occur. It is therefore necessary to test the dog with distractions of your own.
If you have a neighbor, preferably one with a dog of his own, try having him come over to your home with the dog. Have him, and the dog, stand just outside the fenced in area and repeat the come when called exercise with your dog off leash. If he becomes distracted by the other dog, put the leash back on and repeat the process. The goal is to have your dog consistently pay attention to your commands, no matter what distractions may present itself.
If you feel that your dog is in need of more concentrated dog training practice as the dog training sessions at Witchmountain was free from distractions, then it may be considered necessary once confident of your family dogs training to a high standard it may be necessary to concentrate further dog training sessions with numerous distractions within a busy yet local and safe dog park. It is important especially to try and eliminate any potential risk of harm to your puppy or dog in the initial dog training sessions, and this can be accomplished easily and safely within the remote confines of an area similar to Witchmountain which is the utopia for the wild side of your family canine friend.
