"If he does what he should on them, praise him and tell him he is a good puppy."
Dog Obedience Training - Coming When Called
When a puppy is small, we kneel; we coax; we bribe with food to get him to come. Now that your dog is growing up, teach him to come because you called him.
Put him on leash and when he is busy sniffing the ground or saying ugly things to another dog, call his name and tell him "Come!" After you call, jerk ONCE on the leash with lots of praise.
Your dog will come gaily if you clap your hands and make a game of the training. He will learn more quickly if you give the command before you jerk the leash, and make a fuss over him after he comes.
Leave the dog in a sitting position. Then stand behind him. Call him! If he doesn't move, tug once on the leash and give him extra praise.
When he is off leash, ask a friend or one of your family to help. When you call your dog, ask the friend to point to you and tell the dog "Go!" The friend should even chase him if necessary. Your dog will quickly learn that if he goes to the person who calls, he will be praised and patted. If he goes somewhere else, people will chase after him and tell him "Go! Go!"
If there is no one to chase your dog, turn and walk away. Perhaps he will follow. If he plays hard-to-get, make him curious!
Never, NEVER grab!
Reach for him slowly. Pick up a small dog gently by supporting his chest with one hand while he sits on the other arm. A dog biscuit or a piece of dog candy will also help teach your dog to come.
