The call of the forest ..! everyone!
How can dogs teach us, our friends senzapelo to go to them when they call?
Zompettando here and there on the canine-web I found an interesting article that I report here ..
"The call may seem a simple exercise: I call, you come back. Try to see it from the perspective of the dog. Why should return to you? If you are in sight, can continue doing what they're doing: you check with the corner of my eye. If you are new to grab it, try to escape. If you view will be afraid of being attacked, and stay away from you. If you run in the opposite direction, you will meet. It is doubtful it stops, and you do take.
Try to imagine these scenes, you will notice that something is missing. The dog has not learned the basis of the appeal: it's nice to stay there next!
Imagine being on a small island: around you there is a strip of land just big enough to accommodate your dog. It 's a beautiful place: you receive a lot of attention, treats, pampering.
To teach your dog that there is a happy island around you should: always rewarding when you are near
not scold him when ever there is near
when scolded for some reason, recall it and have him near the holidays. Not been rewarded for something wrong, but because we came close.
use a tone cheerful, lively and polite to call it. Try to draw your attention and lure him towards you. One of the secrets of a good reference is transmit positive emotions.
The dog must learn to pick you up close is something special. An invitation to join in your happy island.
Set the call in a safe place. Without distraction. Try to send the dog to all your joy in having close. Caress it, play with and cuddle lui.Alternate attention to food. The basic criterion is that the recall the dog back, and stop by. You should not sit in front of or foot. He just needs to stay close enough to be touched. Even better, both close to touch.
Try this:
Bend your knees bent. Call your dog with a gentle tone. Give them the pampering when it approaches. Do not call it when you know you will not. Always try in a safe environment with few distractions. If you do not really want to know, do them collar and leash. Do not use a harsh tone of voice. Do not get angry if not immediately. Above all: Do not use the lead to force him to approach. Call cheerful tone. As soon as you turn to look, take a step backwards. When you are meeting, let him bend down and the holidays. The leash is just to give you more security, to prevent the dog if he goes about his business. But you must not drag or tug. You have to convince him to pick you up close, do not force it!
Keep the tasty morsels in your pocket . Outputs walk. When you are close to give him a mouthful. Let him go away again. Call it as it approaches, give him the treat if you stop near you. Repeat several times. If
is free and is very distracted, try to come closer. Do them under my nose a delicacy. When he turns to you, a few steps backward. Give him the treat and let him return to his business. Remember, the dog must think that it's nice to pick you up close. Only when he really learned to be a command you can ask him to do so even when they feel like it.
COMMAND
The name of your dog is not the command is! But you can use it to attract his attention. If the dog is distracted you can say, Matisse, come! Never say you come if you're not sure that the dog will be. The dog must associate the word come to a single year: coming toward you and stopping by. Use the command if you exercise the call with the leash. In this way, the dog just can not go wrong. Do not tell the dog to come if you do not want to commit to make it come close. Do not say you come if you want to scold him. If the dog comes to you and stops at more than one meter, if not stop, not a point. You have to be precise, if you want your dog understands what you want and learn to do it on command. "
