Come When Called
Does your dog ignore you when you call him? Do you find yourself yelling ” come” over and over again as you chase him around the dog park? If you answered yes to these questions our “Come when Called” class is just for you!
Our program combines the use of a whistle with a variety of positive training exercises to make your dog WANT to come to you. We are going to help you reprogram your dog’s thinking so that he believes that coming when called is simply the BEST THING EVER!
We will start with the whistle as it has many advantages over the voice, but we will explain how to transition to a voice cue later on so you can use either whistle or voice.
This class is suitable for young dogs learning the recall for the first time AND older dogs who have issues with the recall exercise. Dogs need to have good food and toy drive to do the exercises we teach at the classes.

TNT’s training method is based on using positive reinforcement. Here’s why…
Dogs respond best/fastest to positive reinforcement training. This method focuses on rewarding your dog for doing the asked behavior. The reward in turn encourages your dog to repeat the cued behaviour when asked again. Positive reinforcement training focuses on rewarding good behaviour rather than punishing bad behaviour.
