Behaviors like Come or Loose Leash Walking that require action are strongest when we use games as a tool. Because the more fun you and your dog have playing the game, the better your dog will listen and respond.
Come As Fast As You Can Games
Here is a list of games with brief descriptions that will improve your dog’s speed, sense of fun, and ability to come when you call.

Hide N Go Seek
Look around your house for some great hiding places.
Steal away and hide when your dog is doing its own thing.
Then call out, “Find me [dog’s name] find me.”
When your dog finds you, have a party with play and treats. Then wait for your next opportunity to hide.
Or
Have one person hold your dog by the collar while you hide and call your dog to find you.
This game is known for improving coming when called.
