Question

My neighbors tend to call my black Labrador's name every time they see him, and my dog goes running toward their direction. How can i teach him to only come to me when his name is called? He's three months old

Answer 1

enroll in an obedience class and he will learn commands that will help

Answer 2

1- you must complete his training.

2- the best way( after completing his training) is to put a friend to call your  dog and you have to stop him from going from the moment he begin moving towards your friend. You repeat until you are sure he have learn this...

Answer 3

Lots of things you need to do to make him loyal to you as an owner. Hand feeding helps. The dog then knows that the food does not appear as if by magic, he needs you to provide it... therefor he'll need to stick with you in order to surviv (put in simple dog terms) Use his name to get his attention, Then say HERE or COME, something very simple and clear. Put him on an extendable lead, and when you say his name in an excitable voice, then say come/ i use HERE, give him a second, and if he doesnt come STRAIGHT away, pull him gently but firmly towards you. This way he will know that he HAS to come to you. Use lots of treats, only if he does as he is told, and also use a clicker... they are fool proof. If you are consistent i GUARANTEE you will have a very well behaved and obedient dog. My Jack Russell Terrier amazes people as they think Jacks are yappy and untrainable.. i always enjoy prooving them wrong! Any other questions welcome.

Maybe you should try an all-over training course for 8 weeks to secure that bond with your dog. An absolutely amazing certified dog trainer and WCFO certified judge is Cassandra Hartman from Cassandra's Canines Inc.

Answer 5

talk to your neighbors and ask them to stop!

OTOH a 3 month dog that comes when his name is called is great.
