Teaching Your Dog Commands
Today we are going to talk about the “come” command for dogs. It is very important that a dog can understand this command because it tells them you want them. It is also probably the hardest command to teach your dog, so doing it correctly will benefit you in the long run. You must understand, however, that the “come” command should only be used for something positive. When you try to get the dog to come to you for a bath or to be reprimanded, events we call “negative,” they will remember that you only want them to go to you for something they will not enjoy!
You will need to use this and other Beagle dog training tips from now on! The dog will need to be reprimanded when he misbehaves, but using the “come” command is a bad idea, so again I will highly recommend avoiding this use of the command. Getting back to the training itself, you should always reinforce the positive behavior of the dog coming to you. With that in mind, you should never use the command if you can not reinforce it, or if he does not know how to react to the command.
