It's not a mystery! Dogs don't come when they're called because humans who call them don't make ‘coming when called' rewarding to the dog.Worse yet, some humans make ‘coming when called' punishing to the dog.It often starts out innocently, especially with puppies. Humans are so easily smitten. We coo lovingly, get down on the floor to cuddle. We giggle gently at the puppy's every action. The puppy is so cute!We pick a name. We're so excited. We repeat the name endlessly, encouraging the pup to respond, with whatever works—soft hand clapping, stepping backwards, happy faces, happy voices.
