Use you pets name to get it's attention. To have good control of your pet you must be able to get a good orientation response from the animal. [ Build attention by using your pet's name when calling it for food, walks, and play. (Some instructors may have a problem with using reinforcement with this exercise)] Do this randomly 10 times a day. Never punish your pet for coming to you or by calling it.
If you have a well behaved dog a six foot training lead and a regular buckle collar will do. However if you dog is uncontrollable you should use a training collar. For the right collar size measure the dogs' neck and add 2 inches.
