The Name Game is an easy fun game for your pup to play. Say their name, give them a treat. No clicker necessary here. Initially we aren’t looking for our dog to turn towards us right when we say their name, they don’t know it’s their name yet that’s why we’re playing this game after all! This game is most effective if you play in small sessions throughout the day.
How to Play:
- Say your dog’s name, give them a treat no matter what they are doing is doing.
- Repeat step 1 (name, treat, name, treat) multiple times.
- Say their name changing your tone of voice, again give them a treat no matter what they are doing.
- Repeat step 3 multiple times, varying your voice each time you say their name and always following it with giving your dog a treat.
