Training Sadie to Come to Us On Command

We're teaching our Golden Retriever puppy to recognize her own name and to come to us on command. I've read lots of techniques for this simple trick but the one we chose to use seems to be working.

Crystal holds Sadie while I sit 15 feet away from her with a treat. I pat my legs and say "Sadie come". When she comes she gets praise and a treat. Then I hold her and Crystal repeats the process.

If all goes well, the "Sadie come" command should work in real life situations. Time will tell.

Here's a picture of Sadie from today. She's 6 Weeks and 3 Days Old.
