Puppy Training: Start By Getting Your Puppy To Follow You With “Come, Let's Go”

Tuesday, June 5, 2007 | Printer Friendly Printer Friendly


When bringing home a new puppy the first moments you spend together are precious and will form a bond between you two. It's a live toy and you have no idea what to do with it except to watch it for hours at a time as the explore their new surroundings in their cute and entertaining demeanor.

The more you spend time with your puppy the greater the bond will grow in the course of your life. To maximize your time together your going to want to train your puppy to accompany you into every room in the house.

When you walk away from your puppy and he begins to crawl in the direction that your feet are going, start repetitively speaking the words “Come, Let's Go”. Keep a quick pace but make sure they are still aware of the direction you will be going in.

When you approach a corner which leads out of the room, stop and make sure he is still following you and keep repeating the words “Come, Let's Go”. Of course the puppy's natural instinct is to follow in your direction, and what you're doing now is training him to associate the words “Come, Let's Go” with coming toward you when called.

If you happen to live in a large building in the city, and have the advantage of long hallways that run through your complex, be sure to have fun with these long corridors by running away and stopping a larger distance to see if your puppy will follow you with his new command. Once he loses you from his view, you can test how well he understands the command by loudly saying “Come, Let's Go”. If he starts to move in your direction – congratulations – you've got a winner on your hands!  He should prove to be an easily trained dog as he grows into an adult.
