Find a place to begin training. Plan training sessions. Call your puppy's name in a happy, clear voice. Reward your puppy if he responds to his name.
You can train in your home in the kitchen or living room. A backyard or a quiet outdoor space where there are no distractions also works. Your puppy can be on or off his leash to start. Dogs have short attention spans. For this reason, it is best to plan more frequent, shorter training sessions. Plan five minute training sessions with three to five "name calls" during different times of the day. Practice over the course of a few days. Use your puppy's name one time per exercise (e.g. Come, Molly!). If you repeat the name continually before the dog comes, he will tune the name out. Use the puppy's name with positive commands.  Consider running away from your puppy while you call his name. Dogs love to chase things and might be more likely to follow you.  Use the Name Game to practice name recognition. In the training area, keep him on a ten-foot leash. Give him five feet to wander. When he is not looking, call the puppy with an excited voice. Make sure he comes to you. If he does not come, pull him gently towards you. When he gets to you, praise him and give him a treat. Repeat the exercise until your puppy consistently returns to you when you call his name.  Do not use the puppy's name in conjunction with negative commands or words (no and stay). Do not scold the puppy if he takes a while to come to you.  Avoid nicknames that might confuse your dog, like "Come!" and "Stop!" These might sound funny, but they'll only lead to distress. Say, "yes!" when he comes. Give him verbal praise and/or a treat. Overall, act very excited and pleased about his behavior. You also could give your dog a belly rub. You can alternate what rewards you give the puppy. The goal is to associate puppy's obedience with a positive response from you.
