What is the difference between response to name and recall training?

How do I build value for my puppy's name?
—You can build value for your puppy's name by associating it with positive experiences, such as treats or playtime. Use their name consistently and reward them every time they respond to it.
Why is an informal recall command important?
—An informal recall command is helpful in situations where you can't reinforce your puppy's response to their name. It allows you to get their attention and redirect them without the expectation of a reward.
What are some common mistakes to avoid in recall training?
—Some common mistakes in recall training include overusing the recall command, calling your puppy's name in situations where they are unlikely to respond, and not building enough value for their name.
How can I teach a reliable recall?
—To teach a reliable recall, start with teaching your puppy to respond to their name. Then, gradually add distance and distractions. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats or praise, to reward your puppy for coming to you.
