Dogs do not come in the naturally stubborn category. However, it takes them some time to understand what needs to be done. That is why it is necessary that the owner manages to establish his status of "alpha wolf", really quickly. To make sure that the dog understands the necessary behavior and commands, you need to be patient, and firm. This challenge is going to include the training of the important "come" command.

Dogs enjoy exploring their environment naturally by sniffing all around the area, digging, turning things around and running away with little objects. A training session is best done when you keep your dog away from other distracting voices and people. A clear yard without any little objects is the best idea for such a purpose.

Be sure to take full advantage of any spontaneous behavior you see. For instance when you notice the dog coming at you, give a voice command along with a hand gesture to reinforce this behavior. Try to use a word and sign that you don't normally use during your teaching sessions.
