Teach your dog come. Pave the way for this lesson early by letting your dog follow you around. You might even fasten its lead to your belt loop and take it everywhere with you. You see, the more your dog sees you as its favorite source of fun, the stronger your dog's bond to you will grow.

Start the lessons indoors by saying "come" whenever your dog is walking towards you and when you call it for mealtime, walks, and play. As soon as your dog is near, press it gently into a sit, facing you, say "come" again, and lavish on the praise. Soon it will learn to associate "come" with wonderful things and be very eager to comply.

For the outdoor recall, snap on a long lead (six feet, or so), and let your dog roam a hit. Then say "come" and gently tug the lead. If your dog doesn't obey right away, keep coaxing it with the "come" command and draw it towards you. Remember to heap on the praise, even if you had to nearly drag your dog to you.

As long as "come" means great things (love, fun, food), your dog will be eager to come. However, if you call your dog to you for unpleasant things (punishment, confinement, the end of a romp), you'll swiftly damage its willingness to come when called.

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the U.S., a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully recreate the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was made in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the U.S.
