At one point, the word “come” had become over-used and lost meaning. (Terrier!!!). I was playing hide and go seek one day and placed doggo in a sit/stay command in backyard. Then went to front yard and hid behind shrubs. “Pssst” was the release word and this game was so VERY fun for my Westies that the sound “Pssst” became my new weapon for instant recall. The bonus was that it is also such a polite sound that doesn’t clue in others. It was awesome for camping and visiting because only my dogs were clued in.
thats great same here with come command. me whistling is instant recall.
i have a rescued Border Collie, 6 y.o. he is scared and frightened but improving and trusting i am looking at all your videos from the start xxx
Because it is so difficult to get the other people in the household to be really consistent with COME and not using it when they shouldn't, I'm thinking it might be more realistic to use COME as the informal recall and use something like NOW as my formal recall.
My older wait for “listen” because ive allowed them to make the choice if the stay outside in fenced yard or come in. Maybe i should try “home?” instead of come because sometimes i add “i mean it!” Clap clap clap. “Now!” “Hey!” ….adding walking out to her and ….. plus i have 6 dogs…..having other people mess with the training by accident is a drag….you wouldnt want me
I usually whistle for the really important recall, you of course have to be able to whistle it so it sounds relatively alike everytime and know that you can whistle even when you are stressed. Otherwise you can buy a recall whistle (or sheepdog whistle if you know how to use those) that you always have with you and make sure no one else in the household wears out.
YES
@@puudathemeow5593 I can’t whistle!
Great idea @jodicaryn!!
Personally I like to use the dog's name as a "look at me and await instruction" command, not a recall. This helps in many situations, such as when you have multiple dogs in a pack, you can speak to individual dogs by using their name followed by a command and the other dogs understand you aren't talking to them. Or when your dog is far away and you want them to stay at a distance but pay close attention to you.
I do this too
Same, such a good thing to teach them
Amazing! But how do you train that?!
I say touch so that she touches my hand. Down the road this is awesome because then you can just put out your hand and your dog will run to boop it. I have a very soft voice so hand commands are essential at dog parks.
My German shepherd picked it up instantly. My Aussie is doing well. As long as she’s not distracted along the way. But she usually remembers why she was coming to me and finishes well.
I agree. A name is not the same as the command 'come'.
Being of Inuit Culture, I have an adult Alaskan Malamute (Mahalamut), he is six years old. We inuits have a specific way of training this particular breed. Now!.. I have invested in a rescue puppy. She is Dane/Lab. A completely 360 degree circle than training a Mal'! Anyhow, your channel is by every mean assisting me in doing my research in order to bring "Ellie", Dane/ Lab to become an excellent friend. I do apply some of my own training as I have done with my Mal. And by the way? "Ellie" is bilingual, as she understands my inuit language. Thanks guys.
I love how you show how a dog might not respond by putting it into a human context 😂
Not far from the truth tho 😂
Bark!
I find the value of "come" and what it means so important, as my mini female poodle loves to chase birds, squirrels and even cars. Knowing that I have something that she wants and is motivated by, makes all of the difference. It has been hard work training her as she is very active. Thank you so much for the help.
My puppy learned her name while still being with her Siblings
Around 5weekish. Everytime I said her name she came running to me, which was so amazing
"Your come is your emergency backup"
This is absolutely correct. 😂
Thank you for showing a dog that isn’t already perfectly trained. Smooch (did I get his name right?) was hilarious and more representative of the struggles for why we bring our dogs for training in the first place.
This is the first time I've heard of having the formal and informal. Super helpful thanks!
You guys are really informative and I would love even more tips and tricks for recalls, I have a 2 and a half year rottweiler female who can walk and run heel at the same time, Ive been training her ever since i got here right now the recall is abit rusty so this was super needed! Thank you so much!!
I love your content ... its clear to the point and valuable.
Invaluable lesson in training. I’m based in the U.K. and all your videos are a god send especially with our 10 week old bc. Keep up the great work and stay safe 🙏🏻🕉
Thanks. I learned that my 15 week heeler pup on our farm has a great informal recall ("pup pup pup!" And he comes running,) but his formal "come" is weak.
Your videos have helped my first puppy turn out lovely so far.
Im so glad that my JRT dog is very attentive everytime i call her name..and even the people around us call her name she turn her head and run to them sign for play...and if we are in the park i can easily catch her attention to respond for what i want her to do..thank you for this video i learned more..godbless
I love your videos I have 2 dogs and they have improved thanks to their videos one idea for one video is to do how to remove fleas fast👍🏼👌🏼💜
While I wish I had found y’all decades ago, I’m so thankful I finally have found your channel now that I’ve got a gsd puppy. You know that saying, “she’s a different breed”? Well she sure is! I’ve had smart dogs, but never gsd smart & tbh, it can be a bit intimidating. I do not want to mess up with her in any way & I’m learning a lot from your content. I only found you in the last 24 hours & I’m marathoning your videos. Thank you for making this public information for us & for caring for us & our furbabies enough to do so. 🥰
What is a gsd puppy?

does this apply to fostering a dog? As a foster I know the dog's gonna get another name once they're adopted so I try to focus on their sit, stay, place, etc. commands. Would you advise using 'come' as their most important word?
These are the best training videos
can you make playlists with different instructors? would appreciate very much!
Thank you 😊 Loki says thank you too
Love your videos! My four month old Chihuahua stills not knowing her name.
I will try to teach her that way.
Also have hard time because she is not food motivated, no kibbles, and most of the treats she dislikes completely.
Thank you for helping people to be better dog owners.🤙
Try using small cooked chicken pieces
@@mooshie2272 have been trying this already.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Try having another breed of dog lol.
That lab pup with Kayl is like, insanely gorgeous. How is it even possible for a puppy to be that cute.
Hi Ken! What is the difference between the "pupupupuppy" command and the "here"?
Ive realised that dog training actually works for husbands too, just have to be waayyy more patient. So when he drops wet towels in the floor... don't say anything, don't moan.. but the day he picks them up make a great big fuss of how helpful it was.. same goes for the loo seat.. etc 😂 waited sooner for the dog to do good than the husband 🤣🤣
Lmao!!!🤣 I’m going to use this, I had the same thought recently glad to know it works 😂
@@carlyc5446 patience is the key. Dog was about 2 before I could test my theory 😂
* takes notes *
To be honest, I got got my puppy 2 months ago and already saw a very good feedback from my partner now. Lol
Too true. We men do love to be congratulated, even if it's for the most simple, mundane, and expected task lmao.
My pup has excellent recall in "training". Zero success when distracted or excited. Scarey moment when he slipped through the tiniest gap in the gate and raced onto the road.
My dog who usually has decent recall got out of his harness on a walk(It just randomly came unclipped) and he ran to a dog that was in heat. He is fixed but he would not listen to me if my life depended on it. The dog he ran to did not react well and neither did the owner, it was a lowkey dog fight but the owner stepped it up about 100 points by yelling at me as if I was the worst person in the world for letting that happen. I was so scared for my dog and I blame myself for not having a stronger recall. Brushing up on his recall now.
my 7 m/o lab mix is pretty good at HEEL when we're training (usually leash walking when we practice this)...now I want to use HERE for the come command ( i have unknowingly and mistakenly watered down COME as well as her name). What is the difference in the action the dog should perform between heel and here?..and are the words so similar they could be confusing? LOVE your channel! Very professional and fun!
I'd say those words are a little too similar and the dog could get confused, you could either use "come" instead, or just be sure to pronounce the 2 quite differently, or add hand signals to make it even clearer
I don't remember ever training my dogs to know their name. Very interesting video. Maybe now when I get a new puppy, training will be easier. Thanks. For come I use the French so he doesn't get confused if I say come by mistake. I speak French but rarely use it unless French friends are around. I live in montreal. It might be good to train your dog using another language, just for the avoidance of confusion.
I do this too! My 16 week Sheltie is learning words in 3 languages, English, French and Spanish. I just use whichever one feels most natural to me , for example I always use ',’allez’ for lets go, and ven aquí for come, and ici for here, and lots of other short commands. Then my husband says other things in French because he is French. I thought the different languages would be confusing but after watching this video I can see that different words should be used for different situations and the dog doesn’t care which language it is in!🤣'
That's a good idea, use a different language for come when you are very serious, that way no confusion. Thanks, great idea
Golly this is so hard. Nice reminders.
Dangit, ok you got me at 2:06 absolute gold 🤣
our family accidentally figured formal and informal commands but switched the commands around. Come is informal, but if we need him to not run towards an out of control dog, or not head towards dropped chocolate on the floor, we say 'leave', and that means 'immediately back off and come back to me'
I love your videos so much
Im a native Spanish speaker and I decided to translate some recalls and commands into english because my family don't stop using them 🤣 But fortunately,my family works almost all day and Im alone in the house with my puppy and she responds to "Mari" (her name) and 'Vení" (means "come" in my language) very well. Im going to use the informal recall, tho! I never thought about it
Thanks!
Really good videos
Do you have a video on training dogs that are not motivated by treats?
Jaw drop... never realized what I was doing. Arghhh! How do I undo it? And thanks!
Thank you for all the tips.
If i may ask you. I ve got a female rottie, 5 years old, which is very obedient in everything, except when she is off leash and there are cats around. Unfortunately it was taught when it was younger to chase them and play. Is there any way i could fix it at this age?? (I wasnt the owner, got her from my brother at the age of 4, but she knows i am the leader and obeys.
My dog came knowing his name super solid. Didn't bother changing it even though I don't love it because hey, they already did the hard work
What is the name?☺️
@@DancingTitanDK zues. More commonly called goose
do you train the formal and real command the same? i started to use higher valued treats for the recall so to bemore likely successfull, should i do the same with the formal command?
and doesn't it make sense to not use the dogs name as the real command, since people around, children and so on use it all the times unconsistently?
How much overall daily training should I be doing with a 13 week old pointing lab?
I recently adopted a older dog while I was listening I learned what I was doing wrong going to try a new word
Hi love your training system. At what point do you change from the "pup pup pup pup" command to the "come" command and how is this transition done?
I was curious/confused about this too
@@ericab7873 might be wrong but the 'pup pup pup' is just an informal term that can be used whenever and by anyone but 'come' is trained seperately and is the serious/formal term so there isn't a transition because they are used diferently. so 'come' is a command where as 'pup pup pup' is just used to get their attention until you have taught the 'come' command.
Thanks
I am kevin and welcome back
my puppy would love one of those long orange toys that he uses when running around the garden with the puppy, does anyone know where i'd get one online? Have looked for "long dangly toy" but cant find
I was watching this next to my sleeping puppy and she got up, came to me like "watchu want?" When you were repeating the puppy word to Smooch for recall 🤣🤣
So any suggestions if a dog is not food motivated? I have a small 4 month old Pomchi , she doesn’t eat much . And in fact I have a hard time finding treats she likes.
Hello, I was wondering if you could make a video of training a death dog recall🤗
How do you recommend training recall to a deaf puppy? So much training assumes the dog can hear you, but our 17 week old collie/setter cross is deaf, and if she can’t see us, she has no idea what we want her to do.
do you guys have any tips on training two pups at the same time? i recently got two chocolate lab pups from the same litter and i’ve been trying to train them nonstop. they easily get distracted with one another and always stick together at all times.
I was always taught, teach one at a time, only when both are trained do you put them together
Separate then when it comes to training, do it one at a time otherwise it's gonna be too confusing and tiresome to the puppies
My dog won’t come back if there are distractions but otherwise he is fine. I don’t know how to teach him to come back with distractions around him without him being able to get hurt or other animals or people getting hurt.
Just the same with my dog. She is 6 months with excellent recall...unless another dog goes by and she ignores me completely.
From what I've been learning you have to make yourself more interesting then anything else. Teach in a controlled environment then work yourself towards more energetic areas and use higher value treats for the recall. So instead of kibble use a hotdog (example) also use dinner time for training time. I'm no expert so keep doing your research
lmao @2:07 That's a man who loves his work.
It's hard not to when you are working with dogs all day!
Happy Training!

Good lesson for teaching and avoiding mistake early on but no info or advise on cases where mistake is already made where value is lost to name and come command. If value to commands are lost do we need start over with a new vocab? Both name and come commands have been ruined by family memebers using it abundantly..
Thanks this is working very well,
Just wish I didn’t let my 8 year old name the dog,
But “boo” is learning very fast
Hi, I'm in a wheelchair in the house and either a wheelchair or my prosthetic leg outside. My puppy seems to know this and thinks it's great fun to play keep away. How do I stop this behavior?
Id clap and make a startling sound like 'ah! ah!' whenever the pup does it. Then redirect him or her with a toy. How are things going?
i start in a few steps. I stop looking interested in the thing he’s playing with then I usually just distract him with his favorite a toy(he’s 8 weeks) or I call his name and he comes to me. Then reward him with treats.
What are you using as training foods?
We could use you to help train with our puppy
My sister trained our older dog to respond to "leave it" as a kind of formal recall, like when she's chasing people on the street or barking at cars. I'm attempting to train our puppy to respond to "c'mere" as an informal recall. Our older dog doesn't respond to informal recall very well, so I want to try and make sure the puppy doesn't do the same. I was planning on using her name to get her attention, "c'mere" for informal recall, and "leave it" for formal recall. Would that work?
Great chainer
What do you do with a puppy that bites your fingers EVERY time you give them a treat. We end up having to drop the treat on the floor instead of letting him take it from our fingers. This ends up with him distracted looking for the treat on the floor. He’s been with us three weeks, he’s 12 weeks old now, and still bites our fingers, despite what we have tried to do to prevent the biting. His teeth are sharp, and his bite is getting worse (more painful) as he grows stronger.
How do the informal words transition into formal recall? How do you teach the difference between "here" which means you may or not come, to "come" which means come now
ally best the dog needs to know whenever u call them they don’t have a choice they come straight away, so I wouldn’t recommend having a word where they choose whether they want to come or not
@@avrilbaker3343 agreed, but isn't that what this video is teaching?
I'm really struggling to get my gsp to come he just chases everything could you maby give me some tips on how to get his attention I feel like I've tried everything
Does this work with every breed
Any recall training advise for a deaf dog?
+1
Where can I find that long fluffy tug toy you use?
I havnt seen anything like it around on Australia either.
Can we use a some sort of whistling as an emergency word?
my staffy knows the name game. he'll respond when he knows he's getting something out of it, but in real life circumstances he doesn't care to listen at all. his focus is non existent, so any time i take him into public and people or other dogs are near, he loses his mind. i took him to puppy classes and i literally had to leave the building and have a separate session with the trainer because this dog will pull and pull to the point where he chokes himself and his eyes are bloodshot. i can't call his name to redirect, because he only responds with food, and when others are around food does not matter to him. i can't redirect with a toy during training because then he gets riled up and is even less focused on me and more focused on the toy in my hand. i can't even take him away from the distraction, because he'll find something else to fixate on. it drives me nuts and i'm losing hope.
I have two pups with very different demeanors- I watch McCann training for the more “normal” engaged pup and their methods are spot on for puppy #1. Pup#2 is a different story, completely different mind set and much less engaged, very easily distracted, and has extreme puppy brain. For #2, I watch Upstate Canine Academy videos. Not to take anything away from either training method, as both work perfectly for my polar opposite dogs,
I feel like I am learning 2 great methods and also gaining knowledge of a sort a hybrid of both that I can draw on. I live rurally and don’t have access to in person training, so both methods have been invaluable and so much appreciated by me and my dogs.
Hi Ken, will the same technique of teaching recall to puppies work on my 4 year old dog?
It should since older dogs can learn too, right
@@loumcclanahan5400 They sure can but I thought perhaps experiences and already existing knowledge of an adult dog create a different response to a given exercise than in a puppy for whom everything is new. An adult dog might have to first unlearn present responses?
So what happens when you would like your pup to simply attend to you and wait for a cue when you say his name? For instance your puppy is on the other side of a busy street...calling his name could be disastrous if he considers it a recall cue.
I think there is a command “look” to get their attention but not sure exactly how to train them to stay where they are but pay attention. Great question as we live on a busy street and need full control of our dog at all times.
Agreed, that is a good question. Going off of what Linda said, maybe the "look at me" command, then the "sit" or "stay" command. I also use hand signals for the important commands, so that may be valuable to be able to do both when they look at you, especially, if it's noisy.
So basically use a different command for every situation ? Am a bit confused haha x
I usually say da da da dam dog stop eating my shoes lol 😄😄😄😄
Do these tips work when your puppy is 4 years old?
What should I do if my puppy only recalls to other people other than me and my girlfriend? He is a very friendly 4 month old shiba Inu who easily would go to a stranger rather than it’s owner. I just want to create borderline as I’m afraid he could be stolen since he is so intrigued with strangers
What breed of dog is the black and white one?
Man! I'm sure glad you helped me not to make all these mistakes. My puppy would probably be dead by now!
May I ask what breed is this puppy? Thank you :)
I love your videos and use them all the time but in this one it looks to me like your “here” training is exactly like you “come” training. Is there a difference that I’m not seeing?
Hi Stephen, you're exactly right, the training is the same. As Ken said though, the use of it is different. He recommends you use the "here" command as your throwaway word. (when you don't have a great reward to offer OR when you're not sure that they will come if they are too distracted )
What type of dog is the puppy at 5 minutes in on video?
Please help! We just got a 3mo Rottweiler puppy and are trying to house train him. We use pee pads inside and are using a crate. When we take him outside he doesnt poop or pee, even if he’s had no access to the pads. At night he freaks out and pulls on the leash, often choking himself. Any advice?!
Hi hows your puppy now?? He does poop or pee outside?? My JRT first he does'nt poop our pee outdoors but everyday i walk her she did it!! Allow him to sniff while walking cuz sometimes thats the way of dogs to look a better place to poop or pee...just dont forget to bring with you a plastic bag for picking his poop😊
What is the best treat to give a puppy
It really depends on what your puppy likes. Something small and healthy is better. But you can even ditch the bowl altogether and train them with their daily food. :) Puppies love this, and then you don't burn your wallet on treats.
@@aidenberzins thanks
@@darshanraj8700 No problem. Puppies are little sponges so you should have no problem training them. :)
That's what my dog has started to do
I name dogs but don’t really us their names I usually call them boy/girl but I do use unique whistles for different commands
How do you get your dog to stop barking constantly I’m going to the park delaying the park and enjoy everything when I take him to work at the car dealership he’s barking all the time what can I do to solve this
My rescue puppy is almost 4 months old. She is from a litter from a stray dog the pound can't catch. She won't come to me when I call her. I've had her for a month and she still won't come unless she just wants to but usually stays just out of reach. It's so frustrating. My dog that died in March was really good and would always mind me. I have tried to teach her with your techniques but I must be the one that needs training because it's not working on her. Maybe I could send her to you for a while?
Not sure if this will help but I find dogs instinctively come to you if you crouch down. Especially true if your dog is small.
@@TheQuiQuestion I try. The best thing I've found is to keep kibble in my pocket. Give treats and lots of pets if she comes to me. She's getting better.
My pup will be 9 weeks old when I get her Dec 10, should she be potty trained outside in the cold at this age?
I would definitely recommend some jackets and little booties for sure.
The other option would be litter box training.
I would also ditch their food bowl and use it for training. With their tummies being so small the number of treats you can use in a day is limited.
Make being outside a fun time but also being aware small dogs, especially Chihuahuas, can't keep heat as well as those with longer coats.
My boxer used to take a long time until the first snow. Ha hated the cold. For the other 12 years he lived he was always a straight-to-business guy.
If you can teach a dog to signal, and run to the door when it's time it'lloften be a short event. The downside is if you're slow to get shoes on they can go by the door. At least when they're older. For the last eight months we had to go to a schedule.
What do you do if your do runs off? Problem I’ve got is my dog walks well off the lead then all of a sudden, she will run off. No matter how much she is called, she will not listen
hey my puppy already has separation anxiety she's only nine months old what do I do to train her I just moved her into my apartment how do I get her to listen to me when I'm walking her

I must have missed something, please go easy on me. Where do you demonstrate to use the come command? The way I saw it, you showed other alternates, saying to save the come command however I missed when the come command is learned. I saw you using the name. I saw you calling here here. I saw puppy puppy calls and I saw you holding back the dog then releasing. Which part teaches them the word and command to come?
Anyone know the dog breed on the thumbnail?? I just adopted a rescue puppy and she is a mix but looks a bit like that dog :)
Every time you watch a video training a dog ,it's always a smart breed they're working with. Every dog that you see in obstacle courses are a Beadiant's courses , they look German Shepherd's and a few other breeds. These are the same breed as they used to make these videos with. they never use small Hyper dogs. Small hyper dogs jump and think you're playing every time you bend over to either give them directions or give them treats. I would like to see how to overcome this problem
I don't see why people are always commenting this. Yes, there are dogs that aren't as eager to please their owners as collies or shepherds. The same strategies still apply though, you just might need some more patience. And that's something that a video can't teach you anyway.
I stopped the video 3 minutes in and now my puppy comes when I call ''Ken!''.... his name is Dobby though.....
that's hilarious!
Ken is a better name then Dobby anyway soooo......

How do I teach the come command for emergency situation and use it in training
I had an emergency word - cheese -which my dog loved. I made sure that I always had cheese to give her when I used that word. If she ignored "come" when she was stubborn, she would come for cheese as it was always reinforced with cheese.
Is that a Borador pup?
