Are you always late for work just because your dog won\u2019t come inside when you call him? Whether this happened for the first time today or your dog is a repeat offender, there is nothing more frustrating than being ignored by a dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll be honest with you, the first time my dog refused to come inside when called I raided the kitchen for the juiciest piece of meat I could find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When that didn\u2019t work, I begged, pleaded, and tried to entice my dog in all ways possible, and in the end, had to resort to chasing and grabbing him by the collar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"My
My Puppy Won’t Come Inside – Why A Dog Doesn’t Come When Called…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The whole process of catching my dog and bringing him inside the house was extremely frustrating and the only thing I could think about was I can\u2019t deal with this ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the next day, my dog did the same thing! Needless to say, I was perplexed by my dog\u2019s behavior and was desperate to find a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a dog who refuses to come inside when called, you aren\u2019t alone. This is a common problem many dog owners face, but luckily, it can be corrected with the right approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I\u2019ll list all the potential reasons why your dog doesn\u2019t want to come inside when called and give you some ideas on how to fix these issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Does My Dog Not Want To Come Inside?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you tired of coming up with excuses for being late to work just because your dog refuses to come inside the house when called?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, you have probably already tried everything and even stooped so low to beg and plead with your dog to come inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no shame in admitting it, I was so desperate to get my new dog inside the house that I begged him to come, to no avail, might I add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the begging didn\u2019t work for you too, since you are here now, desperately seeking a solution for your dog\u2019s rowdy behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thing first, to get your dog to come inside when called, you need to figure out why your dog wants to stay outside so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself, what is so darn interesting outside that your dog suddenly doesn\u2019t want to come inside? Once you identify the possible cause, you can work on resolving the issue and stop being late for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listed below are some potential reasons as to why your dog won\u2019t come inside when called:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Isn\u2019t Getting Enough Exercise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All dogs love to be outside! Being outdoors gives your dog an opportunity to run and explore, chase after squirrels and birds, and sniff all those enticing scents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your dog\u2019s mind, being outside is more fun and exciting than sitting inside the house all day long waiting for you to come back from work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dog might be getting a lot of exercise and a lot of positive reinforcement when he is running in your backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, there isn\u2019t much your dog can do once he comes inside except play a little, eat some food, and sleep a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be hard figuring out how much outdoor exercise your dog needs every day since not all dogs have the same energy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, most dogs need from 30 to 60 minutes of exercise every day, but highly energetic working breeds will need more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, active dog breeds like Siberian huskies and border collies who were bred to work might need more than two hours of intense activity every day to stay physically and mentally stimulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, a low-energy dog breeds such as a French bulldog might not need more than 30 minutes of light exercise every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high-energy dog that doesn\u2019t get enough exercise from his daily walks and play sessions will have more fun outside compared to being stuck inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your dog\u2019s mind, staying outside means more fun, and going indoors means that fun will stop, so naturally, he will decide to stay out and have more fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If lack of exercise is the cause of your dog\u2019s reluctance to come inside when called, you should spend more time with him outdoors and reinforce a positive experience inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, try to spend more time playing with your dog indoors and use puzzle toys to keep your pooch mentally stimulated. The goal is to show your dog that he can have as much fun indoors as he can outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Doesn\u2019t Trust You Enough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for shelter and rescue dogs to be apprehensive and refuse to come inside when called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is your first week with a new puppy<\/a>, you probably don\u2019t know much about his history and how he was treated by previous owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, rescued dogs haven\u2019t been inside the house before, let alone lived in one, and they aren\u2019t used to anything else besides being outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, your new dog might still be wary and feel apprehensive when you call him to come inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a chance that the previous owner punished your dog for coming when called and now your pooch is afraid of coming near the front door and going inside the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you just adopted your dog from a shelter or rescue, know that he will need some time to bond with you and overcome his trust issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, you can start working on solving the coming inside problem. Depending on your dog\u2019s past, this might be a slow process, so arm yourself with patience and lots of treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of trying to catch your dog and pull him inside, start by calling him and tossing treats in his direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of what your dog does, don\u2019t try to approach him; instead, keep backing up towards the house and the door. At one point, your dog will feel comfortable enough to come close and take treats from your hand, at which time you can practice a collar grab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep practicing and rewarding your dog\u2019s efforts as long as it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, your pooch will realize that you are nothing like his previous owner and he will start to trust you. And once that happens, he will come inside the house whenever you call him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Spends Too Much Time Outside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dogs are creatures of habit and can adjust to any type of lifestyle with time. So, if your pooch already spends most of the day outside in the backyard, it\u2019s highly likely that he has gotten used to being outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, your dog probably has a favorite sleeping, playing, and digging area in the backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since all of the things he needs are already outside, your dog doesn\u2019t feel motivated to come inside and will most likely ignore your calls to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, you will have to find ways to show your dog that he can feel more comfortable inside the house than outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your dog has a cozy dog bed, lots of toys, and other interesting things that he can do and play with while he is indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once that is set, you should use treats and praise to entice your dog to come when called. While mastering the recall might take some time, your dog can learn obedience commands with patient and consistent training<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note, most dogs don\u2019t simply choose to spend most of their time in the backyard; they do it because they were sent out by their owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t punish your dog for misbehaving inside the house by sending him out in the backyard for a time-out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of sending your dog outside to reflect on the things he did wrong, you should spend some time teaching him what is acceptable indoor behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By directing your dog outside, you aren\u2019t giving him a chance to learn how to behave inside the house; instead, you\u2019re encouraging him to get the most out of his time outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Doesn\u2019t Get Positive Reinforcement Inside The House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If every time you call your dog to come inside is either time for a bath, grooming session, or a trip to the vet, you shouldn\u2019t be surprised that your dog refuses to come inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, your home might be too hot or cold for your dog or he might feel anxious around small children or too much noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever it may be the case, it is up to you to make your home more inviting for your pooch and full of positive reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if your pooch is afraid of certain noises, try to eliminate them if possible or, at least, keep them at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home \u2013 your dog shouldn\u2019t feel too warm or too cold at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your dog has a quiet spot inside the house to retreat to if you have young kids who can get overly enthusiastic during play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, your home should be full of positive experiences and reinforcements if you want to make it more inviting for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Has A Health Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While it might seem unrelated, many different health problems can be the reason your dog suddenly doesn\u2019t want to come inside when called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, any sudden behavioral change can indicate that your dog is experiencing some type of health problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dog starts to act differently and besides not wanting to come inside shows signs of lethargy, difficulty moving, or breathing, you should call your vet and have your dog checked out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind, dogs who suffer from musculoskeletal diseases such as hip dysplasia, luxating patella, or intervertebral disc disease might have trouble getting up and walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, all of these conditions can be extremely painful and limit your dog\u2019s ability to move normally. So, before assuming that your dog is choosing to disobey you, make sure that he isn\u2019t, in fact, sick and in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dog Has A Poor Recall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have ruled everything else as the possible reason for your dog\u2019s reluctance to come when called, there is a chance that his recall needs improvement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, your dog isn\u2019t disobeying you; he simply doesn\u2019t understand what you are asking him to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t completely dismiss the possibility that your dog knew the come command, but was at some point in the past punished when he responded to your recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, your dog is conflicted every time you call him to come inside. While he understands the command \u201ccome,\u201d he is afraid that he will end up punished again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both of these cases, you should stop using the come command and instead try other things that will lure your dog to come inside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dog can see you from the outside, go straight into the kitchen and find a high-value treat for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your dog\u2019s preferences, this can be a small piece of cheese, boiled chicken breasts, or anything that tastes enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dog likes to play chase, let him run a few circles around your backyard before dashing back inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all goes well, your dog will follow you inside the house, and, once he is there, you should keep him entertained; otherwise, he will just go back outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your dog learns that fun things happen inside the house too and he starts coming in without being called, you can start working on his recall. Start training your dog the come command like he never knew it before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best results and perfect recall, use reward-based training and positive reinforcement techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should have training sessions both inside your house and outside in a fenced backyard of a doggy park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And until you are confident that your pooch has mastered the recall, keep him leashed to prevent escapes and possible traffic-related injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAQs About Dog Suddenly Not Wanting To Come Inside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why Doesn\u2019t My Dog All Of A Sudden Want To Come Inside?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are several potential reasons why your dog suddenly doesn\u2019t want to come inside the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dog\u2019s reluctance to come inside might be due to a sudden change in the living environment. The dog might feel anxious inside your home if you recently did a complete renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or it might be as simple as cleaning the house with a new household cleaner that smells bad to your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, a dog can refuse to come inside when called if he is sick and in pain. If you notice that your dog acts out of the ordinary or shows any signs of illness, you should call your vet and take your dog for a check-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Do You Do When Your Dog Won\u2019t Come Inside?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your dog doesn\u2019t want to come inside, instead of calling him over and over again, try to figure out why he doesn\u2019t want to come when called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you identify the underlying issue, you should do everything you can to resolve it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, your dog might not want to come inside because he isn\u2019t getting enough exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of trying to force your dog to come, you should take him on longer walks, play with him more, and keep him mentally stimulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your dog\u2019s exercise needs are met, he won\u2019t feel the need to stay outside longer than necessary and will come inside the house when called. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Does My Dog Ignore Me When I Call Him? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are constantly repeating the same command to your dog without any specific consequence attached to it, you are training him to ignore you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when your dog comes when called and you don\u2019t reward him, you are teaching him that there are no consequences attached to your command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same thing happens when your dog runs back to you and ends up punished for some previous deed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punishing your dog won\u2019t make him more obedient; instead, it will make him afraid of you and even more prone to ignoring your commands for fear of being punished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every dog owner knows there is nothing as frustrating as having to beg a dog to come inside to avoid being late for work, three days in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being angry with your dog won\u2019t fix anything, but figuring out why he wants to stay outside so much can help a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the most common reasons why your dog won\u2019t come inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Lack of exercise and mental stimulating<\/li>
  • Poor recall<\/li>
  • Undiagnosed health problems<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    In the end, no matter how frustrated you are, don\u2019t punish your dog if he doesn\u2019t come inside when called! Instead, try to figure out why your dog doesn\u2019t want to come inside and try to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
