Summary: Training your dog to obey basic commands is part of responsible ownership. Dogs do not learn these traits on their own but, if taught, most will retain the knowledge willingly. The recall command is one of the five basic pet behaviors that can be trained. The other four are “sit,” “down,” “stay” and “heel.” The recall command is the most important of the bunch because this command will keep your pet close to you and safe. An important concept to remember when training your puppy is that it must never be corrected after the recall command. Keeping that in mind, training your puppy should be an easy task when you devote time to your pet.
