One of the most important training exercises to teach your dog is to "come" when called. The primary goal is that your dog always stops what it is doing and returns to you.
Since your dog can easily get hurt or into trouble in many different circumstances (like chasing after another animal) it is critical that you teach your dog this command as soon as possible. It is up to you to ensure your dog is safe.
The key to training your dog is consistency and an immediate positive reward. Your dog must always get a positive reward every time you say "come" and they come over to you. You can reward your dog with either a food treat, one of their favorite toys or a good petting. Tell them "good dog" with an enthusiastic tone of voice. In other words, make a big deal over it.
