🧺 What You’ll Need:

  • Bite-sized treats your pet loves (or a toy for a healthier option)

  • Clicker (optional for clicker training)

  • Quiet space without distractions

  • Leash (for some commands)

  • A calm, patient attitude 😊

Goal: Teach your pet to come to you when called—great for safety and bonding.

Steps:

  1. Start indoors or in a safe, enclosed space. Attach a leash or long lead if needed.

  2. Crouch down or get low to appear inviting.

  3. Say your pet’s name followed by ā€œCome!ā€ in a happy, excited tone.

  4. Gently guide them if they hesitate, or back away to encourage movement.

  5. When they arrive, reward immediately with treats, praise, and affection.

  6. Practice with increasing distance and mild distractions.

āœ… Tip: Never call your pet to punish them—keep "come" positive only.

Training Tips:

  • Short sessions (5–10 minutes max) keep it fun and prevent boredom.

  • Practice 3–5 times per day with breaks in between.

  • End every session on a win—even a small success!

  • Use clear, consistent command words.

  • Fade out treats over time, but always keep verbal praise
