There are a lot of different ways to teach your dog to come. At the age of ten, our family dog was a runner, taking every opportunity to bolt. One day when she bolted and we kids were chasing after her, I was the only one that kept going, my brothers gave up. She would let you get about ten feet away and then run again. I figured out it had turned into a game. So I started running back home, and she started chasing me. What I learned then has found its way into my core puppy training. I hide from my puppies, taking every opportunity when they aren't paying attention. Does it cause them stress? Yes, probably. But they learn very young that they must pay attention to me and where I am and where I go. It makes teaching recall extremely easy. Recently came across this video, same idea. The title should say 'lose' not 'loose'.
When I had Doberman puppies, I'd take them to a beach, park, let them get distracted, call them, then run away from them. You could see them panic, turn around and hustle to catch up to me. Worked like a charm.
Last puppy I got was a GSD, now that was a tough one. He would just sit and watch me, haha. Oskar will be 6 years old this month, I whistle, and no matter where he is, he comes running.

This is why I hide from my puppies, they use their senses - sight, sound, then smell. I try to get them to the nose as quickly as possible. I could never hide from my Newfoundland puppy as she went to nose immediately following each footstep. Other pups would often stop and stand just a few feet away because they were trying to see
me, they had a harder time with me hiding and not moving. They'd often run back and forth in a panic, so I would whistle, they use their ears, and eventually they move to scent to find me.Similar threads
