Method 1 Put a leash on your rottie.

Have treats in your pocket, if you like. With your rottie on your left side, start walking. Take 5 or 6 steps.

Don't worry if your rottie is pulling. When you are ready, stop, back up, and call your rottie to you, coaxing him with the leash gently.

When he gets to you, give him a treat, praise, or both. Repeat 2-3 times each day.

Method 2 Have a friend help you.

You can use a treat if you like or just lots of enthusiasm. Remember to ALWAYS stay in a fenced area!

Put a lightweight leash on your puppy, if you want, but it's not necessary. Have your friend hold him. Tell him to "Stay" and you walk about 6 steps away.

Turn around, face your puppy and say, "Cody, come here!" (of course use your own rottie's name). As soon as you say "Come here", your puppy will run to you (let the leash drag behind him, if he is leashed).

Continue to say "Come!" or "Come Here" with lots of excitement so he will learn these words. When he arrives, reward him with the treat, or hugs and kisses, or both.

Repeat this several times over many days. You can stay at a distance of 6 steps and gradually move farther away.

For adult rotties, try this: Have a friend help you.

You can use a treat if you like or just lots of enthusiasm. Put your rottie on a leash and have your friend hold him if he doesn't know 'stay'.

Hold on to your rottie's leash, say 'stay' and walk about 6 steps away (to the end of the leash). Turn around, face your rottie and say, "Kelly, come here!" (of course use your own rottie's name).

As you say "Come here!" Gather up the leash as he approaches you. Continue to say "Come!" or "Come here!" with lots of excitement so he will learn these words.

When he gets to you, reward him with a treat, or hugs and kisses, or both. Repeat this several times over many days. You can stay at a distance of 6 steps and gradually move farther away, using a longer leash.

After your rottie has become reliable, you can remove the leash, but ALWAYS stay in a fenced area!

You can practice 'Come Here' almost anywhere. When the two of you are out for a walk, surprise your rottie by backing up and calling his name. He will turn and run to be with you. Don't forget to praise him wildly!

TIP:
Never, never scold your rottie for running away from you if he eventually returns. When he finally comes, shower him with love and affection. He would not be happy to return to you if you yelled at him or acted angry. You wouldn't want to approach an angry, upset person and neither does your rottie.
