COME HERE…or HERE is the command

used to call the dog to your side. There are

several times this command can be used to

keep things from getting complicated or out

of hand.

The dog must stop what it's doing and

return directly to you.

This command can be a great help when

training a dog to drive. As the dog veers off

line because it desperately wants to fetch

the stock back to you, the dog is effectively

getting farther and farther away from you.

The dog is far more likely to obey the

“Come Here” command than a flanking

command to bring it back towards you, so

you might use “Come Here” as a sort of

helper command to bring the dog closer,

and therefore into a driving position behind

the stock.
