1. Use it sparingly. When you overuse Come, puppies stop paying attention. When your puppy understands the command, avoid using it all the time. Say it infrequently and make it extremely rewarding.
2. Do not chase your puppy if he does not respond. Practice on-lead for now.
3. Never call for negatives. If you have to groom, bathe, or isolate your puppy, do not use Come. Also avoid using it when you are angry. You will only scare your puppy out.
4. If your puppy runs away from you, do not repeatedly call or correct him.
5. Use a different command to bring your puppy inside. Coming in from outdoors is a big drag, no more fun than being left alone or ignored. Using the Come command when you want to bring him in makes it a negative command. Instead, pick a command like Inside. Start using it on-lead when bringing your puppy into the house. Quickly offer a treat or ball toss.
