Add the Verbal Recall Cue "Come"

Use this once your dog reliably touches your hand without a verbal cue.

1Say "find it" and toss food away from you.
2As soon as your dog eats it, say your dog's name, then "come," then present your outstretched hand.
3Mark and reward once they touch your hand.
4Add a few reps where you also hold the collar once your dog is doing well.
5Practice in every room of your house, and outside in a fenced yard if possible.

Say your dog's name and “come” before presenting the hand target, then mark and reward.
