Training the Dog to Come Here with the Collar
Before you begin training your dog to come "here" using the collar, your dog must have a strong grasp of the "heel" and "sit" commands using the collar, you must put on the collar (Fitting the Collar on Your Dog), and you must find the correct intensity level (Choosing the Correct Intensity Level). Also, you may need to use a long leash to effectively train "here."
- With the dog in a sitting position, move away to the end of the leash.
- Command the dog to come “here.”
- If the dog does not move immediately toward you, press a training button briefly, gently tug on the leash, and repeat the command to come "here."
- Reward the dog with praise as soon as the dog begins to move toward you.
- If the dog begins to veer away, press a training button briefly, and repeat the command to come "here."
