Train Your Dog to COME when CALLED EVERY TIME - Online Dog Training Made Easy

COME or Recall as some people call it is the single MOST IMPORTANT command you must teach your dog. It's not hard, but there are some common mistakes that you should avoid. The most important is not to let the dog fail. In this video lesson I work with Will and Red his awesome Malinois mix. He is pretty good, but if the dog gets distracted, he won't come back. You'll see the mistake and the remedy in this video.

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@rico4you]

Robert not only trains the dog but also trains the owner... all so well done!

Caesar taught the very same thing. Teach all involved.

[@swaffy101]

Great job per usual. You make it very simple for the “non” handler trainer to understand.

Might save his life. No truer words ever spoken.

There was a boxer running loose when I was at the park with my three little dogs. It was perfectly harmless. It just wanted to play, but it would dart out of reach of the owners and me. It ended up darting into the road and got hit. It still kept running. 😢 I have no idea if it was alright when they eventually caught it. That thought terrifies me that it could happen to my dogs.

[@amazonwarrior770]

The trainers train the people to teach the dog. Dogs are highly intelligent. People lack knowledge of the various breed or non-breed dogs. They decide by oh it’s so cute,not by studying what each dog needs in it’s life to be properly cared for,kept safe, healthy and life long educated as to what you want of them. Educate yourself 1st about dogs then enjoy the teaching/bonding experience,you’ll be proud of the both of you for what hopefully is a very,very long time. I was so fortunate that all my dogs lived long lives ranging from 14y.o. Up to a few even making 17yrs and 1 dog living to a few months past 18yrs old. All were healthy and passed naturally and peacefully. I don’t believe in making an animal who gave so much love unconditionally suffer for selfish reasons. I know we would not had been so fortunate to be so happy had it not been for the education in all areas both ways. I know in my heart they have all met and are happily playing nicely waiting for me to come back to them. Treat your dog better than you treat yourself.

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

Most dogs here are like this but their owners don't even bother to try and teach a recall. Good that the owner is getting help. Thank you.

[@VonRagnarNicaragua]

Thanks for these series of vids. Cant get enough of them

[@ClwnJuNkY]

Your tips are priceless . Thank you

[@johnburks90]

Robert thanks for sharing the video it’s just what I need

[@giap9913]

Whenever my 9 month old GSD is in the yard and becomes distracted (i.e. starts barking at neighbor dog or someone walking down the street), I utilize this as an opportunity to reinforce the "HERE" command. Even, if I am inside the house, she will usually come darting inside to me, at top speed. It's not yet 'perfect' recall; but, impressive, IMO. Since she was a young puppy, I walked or ran AWAY from her, saying "HERE", whenever I wanted her to come to me, and I never chased after her. I took Robert's advice to inspire the dog's prey drive. I experienced some anxious moments, when she was a younger pup, & I had her temporarily off leash, but supervised, at night, in an unfenced backyard, when she unexpectedly, began getting more confident & wandered further, beyond the property line, & she began trotting off. Panicked, I ran into the basement, in an elated voice, "HERE!", and she immediately responded, running, at top speed inside, after me..

[@debr6196]

Love the videos! Thank you for the help!! My dog won't come at all unless she want to. She'll just sit and look at me. Then run the other way. I've tried high value treats and she'll eventually come, but it's a struggle. Not every time but alot.

[@leilasesmero5910]

I like Cabrals's balanced with correction when dog is out of control- However thereare many variables to this and this is not just this scenario that works.

[@DF-te2vm]

Maybe the most important thing for dog and owner to learn....... good on you

[@mrcirino5181]

You're awesome !!

[@-Atmos1]

The weather looks so nice there

[@k9-unit-australia275]

Literally just plaid this game & work tonight. Pulled my malli out of the vehicle for some exercise before end of shift. & wouldn’t recall. Very frustrating at 3am after 10hrs @ work.

[@edwardmichaels3388]

love this the self correction. teaching down. i do same thing. dog down, i stand on long lead, toss ball (i do not say fetch, no words) last command was DOWN, he sees ball leave- we he moves to pursue ball w/o permission- self correction happens. totally use the method!

[@kylasbibi]

Man I’m learning so many tips on recall from your channel

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Glad to hear it!

[@primalcritters]

I have a GSD Malinois American pitbull terrier. I can drop the leash and start walking away and he will run after me. I got lucky. Great temperament but also knows he has it very good. Previous owners left him in a crate 24/7 because they could not handle his energy.

[@pawelciurko2064]

Hard dog high prey drive difficult dog … oh You would love my amstaff Robert. Great training!

[@its_yo_boy_johny5099]

Currently training my German Shepard/Boxer mix. Best dog I’ve had so far. He comes to me when I yell his name and then “Come” but not all the time. I don’t use a lead like this, but would it be smart to use one to help make his recall perfect? I am also teaching this because he will dart down the road if he gets out of the front door. Another thing I am teaching him is the front yard boundary because it’s not fenced in like the back yard. He also gets distracted easily, any tips are welcome please and thank you!

[@barksandrecreationfamilydo4977]

Cool t-shirt

[@406MenaceRacecar]

My GSD comes when called when there's no people/animals around, but he's so social and playful. He will completely ignore my voice when he wants to chase or go see a neighbor to say hi.

[@dhoyt1967]

My gsd will only come when I have food. Any other times, I'm not even there.

[@macedoniangangster8085]

Same with my rottie.

[@crystalgu2830]

Same here

[@armandhammer2235]

We all fight the food thing.

Hello bro I'm from India kerala Your training is supper

[@ivanbakovic3002]

my 5 year old belgian malinois is really scared, he likes walks but to put leash on him is really hard. He is afreid of every new thing, baths etc. what should i do to free him up and make him comfortable with new things in his life. Hello from Croatia

[@LeonBosset]

I watch your videos. In this one it looks like this is more a lesson in getting the dog to stop, not come.

[@maryperry1773]

Have a pause between words, and say it with AUTHORITY. “RED!,(slight pause), COME”! Then reward with pats and/or treats. I have 3 German shepherds.

[@msbecks7004]

What if your dog comes to you in an enclosed space but when another dog is around he’s off to play with that dog and doesn’t listen at all? I’ll look to see if you have a vid on that but would be grateful for some input if not. Dog is not bothered about treats.

[@dull_boy_274]

Great exercise if the dog runs past you but not very effective when they aren't running past you.

[@TheREALTyreeSneed2]

im trying to train a pit to come when called by using the pond and some ducks.. he comes when called on ground, but in the water he is deadset on the ducks. i got him to come to the edge of the pond but he always does a 360 and goes back in the water. next time i'll use some steak lol

[@JC-hl2ho]

My Cane Corso puppy isn’t as energetic, and at times is uninterested in me telling him to come. He waits until I say it a thousand times (and I’m very firm with every rule / boundary we have)

[@grizzly1922]

That is your mistake, never try to call your dog when there is zero chance of recall. Only recall when you know it is over a 90 percent chance of success. It is a very hard for most people to grasp. Make recall the best thing ever for the dog! When my dogs blow off a recall very rare, it is a learning experience for me not the Dog! As for me I only repeat recall 2 times THAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that I casually go and get the dog.

[@Noahsark17]

Walk away and hide in a safe environment. You are the treat!

[@markeisharobinson6437]

Any advice on how to teach come when called to a skittish dog?

[@ThePyrshepnBelgn]

I have a big 75 lb Belgian Sheepdog and when I step on the lead he takes me down. Any tips?

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Get a smaller dog or bigger feet…. :)

[@iga279]

Put him on a diet or you gain weight;

[@loishansen3029]

I’m laughing as I visualize myself trying to stop my GSD Maggie by stepping on her leash under these circumstances. However I totally believe in the action for capable owners.

[@GusI727]

Any reason why you don’t teach a finished position like a sit or collar grab? Maybe I missed the explanation

[@RobertCabralDogs]

This was more about solving the issue of the dog not coming. On my formal recall training I add sit or heel positions.

[@GusI727]

Thanks for the response, that makes sense. If this is Robert, nice to e-meet you. Great content.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

@@GusI727 Nice to meet you too. It’s Robert

[@kristensink3405]

I know this is off topic but I’m really hoping to get an answer because I don’t want to make a mistake. I’m about to get a puppy. I work 6 days on-12 hr shifts, then have 8 off. I’ll have lots of time for pup on days off. My husband is retired and home all the time. So pup won’t be alone or neglected when I’m at work. But if I’m the primary person working with training the pup, will it end up having abandonment or bonding issues from me being gone for a stretch every 8 days?

[@LauraBeeDannon]

The other afult human has to work with the puppy just as much as days off or the poor pup will get confused. He should listen to both of you for safety reasons.

[@LauraBeeDannon]

And no offense but most dogs will bond with the make more as they are paxk animals and they know who the "dad" is. No matter how much I worked with our dutchie, once dad got home I was chopped liver. They can sense the alpha male. 😄

[@RobertCabralDogs]

It will be hard to have a consistent training relationship with that schedule. Maybe share the training equally.

[@JellP-x5b]

@@LauraBeeDannonI’m no dog expert, but I can guarantee our dog is closer to me than the “dad” I spend most days training and bonding . Dad gets home and he whines when I leave even at feeding time.

[@vincef7487]

The minute your dog associates coming to you with a negative correction, you’re screwed. It will take a while to undo. So TIMING is crucial when giving negative correction (stepping on the leash & saying NO!)

[@raymondr8631]

Then put the knots further back on the line, and work your way upwards the line, Problem FIXED

[@yishihara55527]

The "No" must clearly come before stepping on the line.

[@JoshuaXiong]

Odd method instead of treats. I can call my dog to come to me and by whistle and by center command between my legs.

[@aleidabianchi1434]

It's great to see this... I have healed myself as well. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.

[@peks4924]

One MEANINGFUL correction is the key otherwise the message is not getting sent to your dog 👍🏼

[@dogden23]

Any concern with this hurting the dog’s neck when the leash is stepped on? What about for young dogs who are still developing physically?

[@jacquelinemarie1721]

Please …. As you can see it took once.

[@Jacksonkb263]

Goodness me 🙄

[@dogden23]

Honestly asking - no pitchforks here. Just curious if this method is safe to use for all dogs, even those under a year old. Mine is 10 months. Thanks for any helpful responses.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

be sure the dog understands the game first, then the correction will work. Watch the whole video. The complete lesson is on my member only site: robertcabral.com that will give you even more insight!

[@dogden23]

Thanks Robert

[@shanakarlsen3952]

I learned this trick from u awhile back. It does work.. I still have not heard from Elin about my membership problem. Been over 4 months!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I would NEVER EXPECT this kind of treatment from someone so highly esteemed as you

[@RobertCabralDogs]

I don't know what you're talking about. You have an active membership on my site, since March. Alin just pointed it out to me. If you send a mail to [e-mail] he will handle any issues.

[@jackglockstar]

NO! And then Good boy! Within seconds of eachother can be a little confusing..not sure its gaining you much.

[@kendurham5684]

Step on the leash, grab his neck? What if it’s a Yorkie his head will come off

[@RobertCabralDogs]

It’s not a Yorkie

[@k9crypto998]

Recall is one of the most important commands to teach your dog…this is not at all how I would do it or teach any of my clients, friends, or family to do it, just saying

Hey Robert i literally needed that thanks 🤎
