Dog Training Issues - did not come when called

Dog owners should realize that a dog will come to you when he called. Most owners did not recognize this as a problem before it happens. The dog can escape from you and go after anyone. Of course it is not safe for other dogs or people. It can be serious for the dog if there are cars around, when he decides to go to a "run". 

Some blame has to go to the owners. Some owners let their dogs run around without a leash. Obedience for dog training should start when the dog is young. The dog believes that it can have a lot of fun when they run around outside without its owner, whether on shore or in the park. This group of fun without the owner can get him to believe that being with the owner is not fun. Dog leash training can be negative in the dog's mind. 

Since this can be negative, the dog can not come in first place when they called. The dog that has so much fun without the owner will still want to have fun without him. 

You want to prevent this pattern occurs in the first place. The time spent running around with other dogs should not be more fun than the time spent with you. Be there when your dog is playing and take control and supervision. If your dog has already learned this negative behavior, he needs to be retrained. An important command that your dog needs to obey the "come here" command. 

Do not come here this command, and then give any negative behavior towards your dog. If you call your dog and then do something for him that he dislikes, which gave him a bath, so he will not be too thrilled to come later in the first call. If you want to do something the dog does not like, like going to the vet, only play with him after you call him. 

Reward the dog when it comes to you by showing some love and give it a snack. This is positive dog training.
