Commanding Your Dog to Come

If you call your dog's name in your command voice and follow his name with the word come - (Fido, come!) - you will have transformed those words into a command that indicates to your dog that he is to:

  1. Go to where you are.
  2. Sit down facing you from a few feet away, and wait for further instructions.
