How can I train my pet to come when called

Sure! Here are seven different ways you can train your pet to come when called:

**Use Treats**: Start by calling your pet's name and reward them with a treat when they come to you. Make it super exciting so they associate coming when called with good stuff!

**Short Distances**: Begin training in a small area, like your living room or backyard. Call your pet from a short distance and gradually increase it as they get the hang of it.

**Positive Reinforcement**: Every time your pet comes to you, praise them like they just won a medal! Use a happy tone and some pets love a good scratch behind the ears too.

**Practice Regularly**: Make it a routine! Call your pet several times a day during playtime or meals. Consistency helps them learn faster.

**Use a Clicker**: If you have a clicker, use it! Click when they come to you and follow it up with a treat. They’ll start to associate the sound with getting rewarded.

**Avoid Negative Associations**: Don’t call your pet for something they don’t like, like bath time or vet visits. They’ll start to avoid coming to you if they think something bad is coming.
