There are plenty of apparent reasons why come command should be included in your Labrador training. In fact, it is one of the most vital basic commands each dog must learn to ensure safety. Once the come command or recall is mastered, probably deadly situation can be forestalled by calling him to you. Apart from safety reasons, mastery of the come command also gives your lab greater liberty in some scenarios. You can allow him to run unreservedly when you are out in the beach knowing that he can always reply each time you call.

In a few cases, training a Labrador with come command can be a challenge given the indisputable fact that this breed is commonly described as intrepid and regularly mislabeled as hyperactive. But nothing is impossible with correct Labrador training tips. Here is some advice to help train your Labrador with the come command:

- Start training indoors with your dog on leash. Say your dog’s name followed by the word “come.” Do it in such a way that may attract or inspire your pet to come (using excited tone, having treats prepared).

- Praise him as quickly as he comes to you.

- If your Labrador doesn’t come, tug the leash a little to draw in and inspire him to come. Remember not to tug the leash harshly to stop your dog from associating the command with something negative.

- After he has mastered the command indoors, continuously train the command out of doors and off leash in a fenced-in yard.

- Use the command continually (during dinner, playtime, to give treats) and never use it to call your dog for negative things like punishment or baths.

- When you’re teaching the come command, or any other command in fact, and your dog doesn’t respond, do not chase him around. Though it’s driving you nuts, wait till he comes and if he does, never give punishment for it’ll only associate the command to something negative.

- Labradors are smart dogs but don’t expect this command can be mastered in one session only. Start with the basic and steadily build on it. Training sessions also should be short as well as delightful.
