Do you have a bumpy ride getting your dog’s attention when calling their name?
Animal supporter Carol Erickson with the PSPCA signed up with CBS News Philadelphia to provide some pointers from the Tufts University Dog Newsletter.
She said when calling your dog, 100% compliance is not likely however 80% is possible.
Distractions are a primary element that can make your family pet disregard you, Erickson said. She likewise said you do not wish to sound nervous or repeat calling their name since that’s most likely to make them simply remove.
Tips for calling your family pet:
- Call their name when
- Once you have their attention, keep a calm and happy voice
- Drop to your knee and open your arms to wait on them to come.
- Praise them when they react properly
- Practice in a little, safe space. Don’t attempt to practice in an unmanageable environment, like a park or near a street.
Erickson said your dog will ultimately get it, particularly if you constantly practice.
