| If you are going to use the formal command "come", then require a formal response which is a front and sit. If you just want to dog near to you, then use another word such as 'by me" or something. Otherwise you devalue your formal command and teach the dog any kind of response is just fine. Decide what you are teaching and rewarding whether with praise or treat before you start the training.
