How long does it take to train a dog to come when called?

Answer 1

Hi,

Happily, it's not as difficult as it seems. For starters, I recommend giving the cue "here" rather than "come." The word "come" is used often in day-to-day conversation (come on, come here, come over, etc.) and it can easily lose meaning if your dog hears it out of context.

Here's some guidelines on how to teach your dog to come when called:
