Your dog first of all has to know the meaning of COME. And they have to know to come on the first command. There is nothing worse than seeing someone with a dog saying, come Bowser, come Bowser, come Bowser. I always have to bite myself and not ask, which time do you actually wish Bowser to come? We have 3 English Springer Spaniels. None of them much likes squirrels either. BUT, they come on voice command, they come on hand command and they come on whistle command, even if a rodent is around. It was not a hard concept for them to learn. I guess it all depends on how much training you have done with your dog and how intelligent your dog is.
