When you notice an approaching distraction, recalling your dog back to you before they become fixated helps reinforce responsiveness, maintain focus, and prevent unwanted behaviours from developing.
Dogs learn through association; every time you call your dog's name and they come to you, reward them generously so they learn that responding to you always leads to something positive and worthwhile.
Avoid using your dog's name every time you want to send them to the crate; otherwise, they may begin to associate their name with the end of fun and become less enthusiastic about responding when called.
