- Call the puppy with a firm voice just before a meal.
- When he obeys, call him outside of meals and reward him with food.
- When (2) succeeds, do the same outside the house.
- If, after several attempts, the dog does not return, tie it to a 5 meter long rope, and accompany your call with a light pull. At the slightest sign of return, you should encourage him a lot.
- If he walks away from you, throw a noisy object in front of him that will surprise him. Recall it as in (4).
- Increase the distance by 2 meters at a time. Go from 5 to 10 meters.
- Let go of the rope but leave it attached to the dog.
- Completely detach the rope.
- Accompany your voice call with an arm gesture : strike your thigh with the palm of your hand, arm extended, sideways.
- Simultaneously with your calls (voice and gesture), add 2 short blows to the whistle. Thus the dog will return, even if he does not see you.
