Train your cat or dog to respond when you call it's name.
The first step in teaching your cat or dog to respond to his name, is to teach him to to associate it with positive rewards. By calling his name and giving him a positive reward, your pet will learn to come when he is called.
Probably the most positive reward there is to a pet is a treat.These are relatively inexpensive and can be easily found. Be sure to take into consideration the size of the treat and the number given in a day as you don't want to cause a weight problem.
Another positive reward to a pet is good old praise. You can easily reward him with praising or petting.
It should be noted that once you have started the training process you should never use your pet's name to call him over for a reprimand.
The training process should be kept easy and consistent. You can do this by using the same name every time you call him. Don't confuse your pet with many nicknames or variations on his name.
