today we're in the central business
district here in New Orleans and we are
gonna work with the cutest puppy you
have ever seen in your life
Chito the puppy is gonna learn how to
come when we call him you know tumbling
called is one of the most important
skills that our dogs need to know we
should practice this early and often and
in lots of different places by the way
did you guys see my last video on how to
teach your dog to listen to you around
other dogs if not check out the
description like me on Facebook too at
facebook.com slash - these act towards
so that we can get to know each other
even better and I have a pretty serious
question for you are corgis the cutest
puppies ever think about that as you
watch this video and tell me in the
comments below

we're here with Erin and Walker and
Cheeto the Corps do how reliable would
you say he's been uncommon called to
this point in various environments ok so
we got to get that up a little bit don't
we but when we're teaching our dogs to
come to us the first thing we want to do
is get really tight really solid in an
environment like this in the house so I
was thinking we would practice in here
for a little bit then maybe move on to a
little bit more of a distracting
environment and then maybe even more
distracting if he does well with that
I'm gonna go over a game with you that
you can do with your dog to teach them
to come to you when you have two people
in the household always call your dog in
a very enthusiastic and happy voice we
want to make sure that our dog is
enjoying the training process never call
your dog in that firm voice because well
they're not gonna look forward to
training as much if you do that Walker
what kind of currency are you going to
use with cheedo today we got Walker over
here we've got Aaron over here and we're
gonna call him back and forth yeah look
at that look at him go that's it that's
right we want our dogs bolt Angelus we
want them running to it with a dog like
cheetah the more genuine the more
enthusiastic the more energetic you are
the more likely they are to come running
to you now if your dog doesn't respond
so much to this high energy approach
maybe try using a soft gentle more
understanding approach if they tend to
be a bit more reserved and look right
here now actually let's pause you for a
moment right now you're calling them
Cheetos like I don't know I'd rather be
over here with my dad he's got these
treats and everything look for those
small moments when your dog is thinking
about listening to you and seize those
moments in order to really encourage
them to listen to you if they look like
they're thinking
about coming to you do everything you
can to keep them in that mindset if you
notice that your dog is coming to you
halfway and then they're like I don't
know so much it's important to shorten
the distance make it a little bit easier
remember the best dog trainers will not
hesitate to take a step back on their
training in order to teach and show
their dog what to do why don't you guys
go ahead and practice at a closer range
and see if you can have some more
success here reward him heavily with a
skill like homeland called we want to
reward very generously with our dogs in
order to really give them that good
association with listening to us the
next step is to start calling them
randomly when they're least expecting it
now let's see if you can do it with your
back turn to bed you know to throw them
up make things a little bit different
because come when called really matters
most when they are not expecting it and
look he's doing terrific fantastic
wonderful job what do you think about
trying it by the fridge good very good
so cute type somehow talk Walker into
lying on his back to do this but in all
seriousness teaching your dog to come to
you when you're assuming different
positions really challenges them to
think more and makes them understand the
general concept as opposed to just the
training drill if that makes sense go
ahead and call cheedo and see if it
comes here and it's you see how thrown
off yes and you have your currency with
you to let him know good he sees that go
ahead and this is all very normal don't
be discouraged this is why we teach them
this is why we train them maybe scoot up
a little bit look at that very good so
right there we provided the proper
incentive it's much more important that
we get the desired behavior than it is
we get our dogs off of treats now if you
want to see a video on how to teach your
dog to listen to you without treats see
the description of this video and I'll
show you the formula on how to
accomplish that I think that we need to
up the difficulty level a little bit and
practice in a less familiar but still
somewhat familiar area what do you think
about going out here to the hallway and
seeing how he does okay so cheeto is
familiar with this area but he doesn't
live here and that's a new setting for a
dog that's a completely different
variable for them that we need to be
understanding of we're gonna start
pretty close up and then we're gonna
work to a greater and greater distance
hopefully but we'll see how cheeto guys
look at this this is great guys if you
do have a long distance like this and
you're trying to get them to come to you
you can do something like this let's go
let's go come on
cheese because dogs love to chase it's
turned into a bit of a game but see this
is why you practice in a controlled
environment right here
because often times if they get pretty
amped up they'll try and run past you
and turn it into a game of chase which
is okay but we want to make sure that
happens in a really controlled
environment so they can't get away from
us look at that boy
I might confuse him for a greyhound I'm
gonna try and throw a wild card at him
and see if his parents can get him to
come to them while he's distracted so
I'm gonna try and throw him off a little
bit so go ahead there and then and call
him that's what you want here's another
quick tip for you on come when called
let your dog go back to doing what
they're doing after they come to you
don't insist they come to you to a sit
or down stay for 30 seconds really make
it easy for them to succeed
Chito is clearly too cool for school
here he's doing terrific we're gonna go
outside now and see how cheeto does in a
completely new place I'm very optimistic
from what I've seen so far so we're
gonna have Aaron and Walker call cheeto
back and forth and see how incredible he
can do and if he does well with that I'm
gonna show you the next step it's
important to let your dog adjust
initially it's also important to have
good control over them which is why we
have a really long lead on cheeto so he
can still run but we also still have
control of him why don't you go ahead
and call Walker and see if he comes to
you right here make sure you reward big
to because it's a new environment
look at that look at that's it the more
embarrassed you are when you're calling
your dog the better job you're doing
you've got to be prepared to be extra
patient go in slow motion because it's
much more challenging to teach in this
situation good
now I ran behind him snapping my fingers
giving him a mild distraction there you
know really proofing it he's still
listening to you that was fantastic
there he goes yes good job that's it
that's how you call you like that was
awesome man
one thing that I like to do as my dogs
are showing more and more success is
start to pair certain behaviors together
for example maybe calling your dog and
then asking them to sit this teaches
them to start generalizing a multitude
of skills look at this
good ask him to sit
I'm really really doing a terrific job

engagement - and I have to know from all
