Tired of chasing Fido down the street or begging for him to come home? Sounds like management is missing. Management is setting your dog up to succeed by not allowing them to scew up (run away or be off leash if they are not reliable to come to you).
So does that mean your dog is on a leash always and forever?
No.
So where do you start?
1. start with rewarding your dog for looking at you when you say their name
2. when outside, have your dog drag a leash or line that you can step on if need be. If the go to the end of the line, and then look back at you or come back to you- reward them
3. if your dog is frequently looking at you- begin to reward this as well
That's it for starters...more to come on how to take the next step.
Happy Calling!
