1. Important commands: Determine a simple and consistent command, such as "come here", to get the dog back to you, which is related to the dog's safety.

2. Indoor training: Train indoors or in your yard to reduce external interference, and use a leash about two meters long to focus the dog's attention and prevent it from running away.

3. Attract attention: Use things, gestures, or sounds that the dog likes to attract the dog's attention, let it run towards you, and praise and encourage it.

Below we will explain in detail the specific steps of this dog training method

You need to use inducement and rewards to make the dog understand and follow instructions, use gestures and voice commands, and combine gestures and voice commands to make the dog better understand your intentions.

1. Choose a simple and consistent command, such as "Come here", so that the dog can clearly understand and respond. This command is very important. You can use it whenever you want the dog to come back to you. This may be related to the dog's safety, such as you can call it back when the dog runs away.

2. To reduce interference, dog training is generally carried out indoors or in your yard; tie a leash of about two meters to the dog so that you can focus its attention and prevent it from running away.

3. First, you have to attract the dog's attention and let it run towards you. You can use anything the dog likes, gestures, or sounds to attract the dog's attention, such as a barking toy, calling its name, etc., or even opening your hands to it. You can also try to run a short distance and then stop. The dog may chase you by itself; praise or show a happy look to encourage the dog to run towards you.

4. Praise and reward: Once the dog runs to you, press the clicker in time, praise it happily, and reward it; as before, add the command "come" after the dog consciously runs to you. When it can respond to the command, praise it and repeat the command "come" to consolidate the dog's understanding and response to the command.

5. Transfer to a public place: When the dog can understand and respond to the command well, it means that it has learned the command. At this time, move the training venue from home to a more distracting public place such as a park and continue to train the command "come".

Because this command may save the dog's life, it must learn to obey it in any environment.

6. Increase the difficulty and distance: gradually increase the length of the leash and let the dog run back from a longer distance; try to train without a leash, but it must be done in a closed place so that the recall distance can be increased; you can let your companions join the training. You and he stand in different places, take turns to shout the command, and let the dog run back and forth between the two of you.

7. Continue to consolidate training: Because the command "come here" is very important, the reward for completing it should be the most abundant. Let the training of the command "come here" be the first moment for your dog, and continue to consolidate the training throughout the dog's life.

Repeat this command during normal walks, or put some food in the bag, use the command when you need to recall it, and reward the dog's response in time.

8. Don't associate the command "come here" with any negative emotions.

No matter how bad your mood is, don't get angry when you say "Come here". Even if your dog breaks free from the chain and runs around for five minutes, as long as it responds to you when you say "Come here", you must praise it. Because you always praise it for the last thing it does, and the last thing it does at this time is to run toward you.

Don't criticize it, get angry at it, etc. after it runs towards you. Because a bad experience may ruin your years of training.

Don't do something to the dog that it doesn't like after saying "come here", such as bathing it, cutting its nails, cleaning its ears, etc. "Come here" must be associated with pleasant things.

So don't give commands when doing things that the dog doesn't like, just walk up to the dog and grab it. When the dog cooperates with you to complete these things it doesn't like, remember to praise or even reward it.

9. If the dog is completely disobedient after breaking free from the leash, then start training "come here" again until it has mastered it firmly.

This command is very important, take your time, and don't rush for success.

10. This command should be constantly reinforced throughout the dog's life.

If you take your dog for a walk without a leash, put some food in the bag so that you can repeat this command during your usual walk.

You should also teach it a command for free movements, such as "Go play". Let it know that before you give a new command, it can do whatever it wants without having to stay by your side.

11. Let the dog feel that it is a very pleasant thing to be with you, rather than having to put on a leash and do things it doesn't want to do just to be with you. Over time, the dog will become less and less willing to respond to your "come here". So call the dog from time to time, praise it, and then let it "go play".

12. Let the dog get used to being grabbed by the tactical dog collar. Every time it walks in front of you, you should subconsciously grab its collar. This way it won't make a fuss because you suddenly grab its collar.

When you bend down to reward it for "coming here", remember to also grab its tactical dog collar and give it food. Occasionally, you should tie a leash when you grab the collar, but not every time. Of course, you can also tie it for a while and then let it go. Tie a leash must be associated with pleasant things, such as going out to play. It cannot be associated with anything unpleasant.

The core points and principles of this dog training method:

1. Make sure to determine simple and consistent commands: This is very important, such as "Come here" so that the dog understands the meaning and importance of this command.

2. Encourage and reward: Use positive voices and expressions to encourage the dog to run towards you, and press the clicker in time to praise and reward it, so that the dog understands the positive results of responding to commands.

3. Avoid negative emotions: During the training process, avoid getting angry or criticizing the dog when saying "come here" to avoid negative associations and maintain a positive training atmosphere.

4. Closely associate with pleasant things: Associate the command "come here" with pleasant things, avoid associating it with unpleasant experiences, and maintain the dog's positive response to commands.

5. Restart training: If the dog does not obey the command without the chain, you can restart the training. The command "come here" is very important and needs to be done slowly. Don't rush for success.

6. Continue to consolidate training: The command "come here" runs through the dog's life, and through continuous repetition and consolidation of training, the dog can always respond to this important command.

Note: As professional dog trainers, we remind owners when providing the above basic guidance that each dog’s situation is different, so the training method should be adjusted and adapted according to your dog’s personality, breed, and training progress to ensure a smooth and effective training process.
