Helpful Tips Why Your Dog Won't Come When Called Have you ever trained your dog to come when called, and then when you call him, he completely ignores you? You are not alone! There are many reasons why your pup is not responding to your command. AKC s Canine Good Citizen Director and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Mary Burch, Ph.D., breaks down why this might be happening and what you can do to fix it. More training is needed. Your dog might not be ready to be off the leash in wide, open spaces and needs more systematic training. Go back to the basics and try again. Competing reinforcers. Your dog might be perfectly well-trained to come to you when you call him, but if your sporting dog is in a field where there are birds, or you have a sight hound in the woods where there are rabbits, you probably lost the competition for your dog s attention. It is important for you to know your dog, and that includes knowing when you need to leave the leash on. No reinforcement. When you call your dog and he comes to you, it is important to praise or reward him. No reinforcement leads your dog to not wanting to come to you. You can reinforce your dog with a food treat or plenty of praise. Not understanding the dog s needs. Sometimes your dog will not come when called because you are rushing him. He may need to run, sniff around a bit, or search longer for a good bathroom break spot. Additional tips for teaching your dog to come when called can be found in Citizen Canine, the new publication from AKC s Mary Burch, as well as the AKC Canine Good Citizen website at http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/. The American Kennel Club, Inc. Building a Happy Relationship With Your Dog American Kennel Club Offers Tips for Building a Happy Relationship With Your Dog Meeting your dog s basic needs and maintaining his quality of life are the foundation of building a happy relationship with your pup. No matter how busy life gets, being consistent about caring for your dog is extremely important. American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Director and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Mary Burch, Ph.D., offers the following tips on how to achieve the best possible relationship with your family pet. Exercise. Providing Fido with daily exercise is very important. When dogs do not get enough exercise, they can become bored and lethargic, or even hyper and wound up. The lack of exercise is at the root of many canine behavior problems. Puppy play time. Play time translates to spending quality time with your pup. Dogs need to have daily interactions with their humans, and even thought the sessions may be short, it goes a long way to building a strong bond with your dog. Training. Spending time training your dog builds a bond that lasts a lifetime. You learn how to communicate with your pup during training. It also gives your dog more freedom because you can feel confident taking him anywhere with you and know that he will be easy to manage.
