Dogs learn thru positive reinforcement. They learn to not come in to someone yelling and cursing at them or to someone repeating the same thing over and over.. No matter how mad you are at them to teach them to always come to you and no matter what, they have to think coming to you is a good thing and never ever punish a dog for coming to you, give him a piece of a hot dog instead. If he does not like hot dogs find something he loves even if its a toy. Reward him for coming to you but do not punish him if he does not. It might take you two weeks to get him to come to you every time but he will learn to do that. You have to be smarter and consistent.
