Once the “heel” and “sit” commands are mastered, you can move on to the “come” command. Using the Remington Latigo leather training lead, sit your dog out in front of you, facing you. Start backing away from the dog, making him stay in the “sit” position. If the dog moves, pull up on the check cord. The dog should respond by sitting back down. Proceed to back up 6 feet or so. When you are ready for the dog to come to you, pull on the lead giving the “come” command. When your dog gets to you, command him to sit facing you. Gradually increase your distance from the dog to the full extension of the lead. As you get further away from your dog, he may try to wander as he is coming toward you. To prevent this, keep threading the lead through your hand to keep the rope relatively tight so you can correct the dog with a tug and keep him heading straight toward you. Always praise your dog as he directly approaches you. Repeat this training process for 10 to 15 consecutive days and you should be ready to move on.
