Dogs aren’t actually insubordinate. However, they often don’t understand precisely what they’re supposed to do. To make this apparent to them, you need to establish the alpha status right away. Be sure to exhibit patience and resolute and firm force to produce the behavior wanted. This can be hard to do when teaching the command “come”.
Dogs enjoy exploring their environment naturally by sniffing all around the area, digging, turning things around and running away with little objects. A training session is best done when you keep your dog away from other distracting voices and people. A clear yard without any little objects is the best idea for such a purpose.
The moment the dog comes spontaneously towards you, act quickly, and reinforce the command with a hand gesture. If he moves towards you, spontaneously, reinforce “Come” with the hand movement. Make sure that the gesture and/or the word is unique and not one which is used during regular training sessions.
Put the dog in a sitting position facing you. Reinforce the command of ’stay’ as you move away. Use hand gestures and voice commands. Praise the dog if the behavior is correct. Do not reward the dog for an incorrect or partial response.
Keep repeating this, as you move back. If your dog comes towards you too quickly, use ’sit/stay’ commands again. If the dog does not move try coaxing with treats or toys.
Some dogs may be reluctant or slow to learn. This is where you might need to do some leash training. The dog should be put in the sit position with the reinforcement of the ’stay’ command. Start backing up, while letting the leash go loose and slack. A firm tug is needed upon the leash along with the appropriate voice and hand gestures, if the dog does not move.
For a dog that comes too eagerly, use a long rope or tether and wrap it around a stake or a tree. If the dog tries to come too early tug the tether as you execute the “stay” command. If there are no trees available, use a friend to help with the session. The detrimental part about using an additional person during the session is the dog can become Thrown off about who they should focus on. It’s always best if they just focus on one teacher.
Consistence as well as patience is necessary during training sessions. Human induced commands like sit, stay and come are not naturally understood by dogs. Yelling at the dog when it makes errors or does not obey your orders is quite a counterproductive exercise. You have to establish your alpha status by your body posture, a firm voice, and your patience while you wait for it to obey you. Physical leading and restraint is not such a helpful technique.
Many dogs quickly prove themselves to be happy to please and are very thirsty for praise following the learned behavior. Just be certain they’re the ones ‘coming’, not you. If necessary, prove that you’re the stubborn one when it comes to their behavior.
