Throughout the day there may be situations in which we need the dog pay attention to us. Whether it is because we are in the park and we are calling him to come home, or because he is doing something he should not, it is important to let the furry know that we are communicating with him and that we expect him to react in a positive way.
For this, I will explain to you how to get your dog's attention.
Before we start, let me tell you that you will probably have to repeat these steps many times, as dogs sometimes, for one reason or another, do not feel like approaching us. In fact, you have to start from the basis that if there is something better to do, it will ignore us. So the goal will be to make us much more interesting than anything else that can distract you. How to do such a thing? With the help of prizes, of course, but not just any, but with your favorite.
To find out what it is, at home, every time he does something right, we will give him a dog treat once, a toy the next time, or a touch (and sweet and happy words) the next. Thus, depending on how you have reacted at all times, we will be able to know which one you liked the most. That will be the one we will use as "bait."
Since there are many stimuli outside, it is best to always start practicing from the safety of home. With that said, call your dog a few times throughout the day, and each time you do, show him the treat. If it gets closer, give it to him. If you like caresses more, a trick to get him to come is by moving your hips. He will interpret it as an invitation to play, so he will surely go to you.
Repeat it for several days, and when you see that he has learned it, then you can practice during the walks. And, later, in the parks.
Cheer up, sooner than you think you will get your dog to pay attention to you .
