Outdoor come command continued: In the yard: When the dog is outside in the yard unleashed either for potty or play time, we can practice the command. Because we don’t want the dog to associate coming to you with negative things when the dog comes to you don’t end the fun by taking him immediately inside, give him his treat and let him go play some more, you could even have a game of fetch after he comes. Say the dog’s name and “come”. As soon as the dog reacts by looking in your direction begin praising and continue praising as the dog moves to you. If the dog looks at you and then looks away again say “ah-ah” and re-issue the command, begin praising when she begins moving towards you. If the dog doesn’t begin moving toward you, go to the dog and using the collar or leash take the dog indoors. When taking the dog indoors, do not scold the dog simply ignore it. Come is not optional, non-compliance ends fun time. If the dog begins moving toward you but then gets distracted and begins moving away from you say “ah-ah” and re-issue the command. Only re-direct the dog once or twice and then if he fails to comply go to the dog and using the collar or leash take the dog indoors. When taking the dog indoors, do not scold the dog simply ignore it.
