Three focused days of skill-building. Each session is 5–15 minutes. Start whenever you're ready.
Why this first: Recall is the most important skill your dog can learn. Today you make "come" mean the best thing that has ever happened to them.
Get 10 high-value treats — cheese, chicken, hot dog. Use a long line outdoors for safety.
Call "your dog, come!" once, in a happy voice. Crouch down and open your arms. The moment they move toward you, cheer.
Reward every single recall with something great. Recall must never predict punishment or the end of fun.
your dog should respond 7–8 out of 10 times indoors today. Build outdoors only once this is solid.
📅 3 sessions × 10 reps
Why this first: your dog's name should snap their attention toward you in any situation. Today you charge it like a battery.
Say your dog's name once, neutral tone. The instant they look, mark and reward.
Practice in 2-minute bursts through the day: kitchen, living room, yard, street.
Never repeat their name if they ignore it. Wait until you're closer, then try again.
your dog will start orienting to their name automatically by session 3 today.
📅 5-6 short sessions throughout the day
Why this first: your dog can't respond to cues they're not listening to. "Watch me" builds the attention that every other skill runs on.
Hold a treat to your nose and say "your dog, watch me" — once only.
The instant their eyes meet yours, even for half a second, mark and reward.
Gradually extend eye contact before marking: 2 seconds, then 5, then 10. Keep sessions short.
your dog will start offering eye contact spontaneously — not just when asked. That's the moment connection lands.
