Come when called?????????????

[Velvet]

Velvet has just started running up, or down the stairs when I call her name, (helps that she usually gets a dehydrated pineapple, or banana), Was just wondering how many others on here can call their bunnies and have em come running?

[Amys Animals]

Rascal knows his name and I *think* Marley does too but they do not come running when I call them . haha I am not too sure if Valentine knows her name or not. She seems to respond sometimes but other times not so much. I think she’s just a bun that wants attention only on her terms. Rascal just loves being loved haha He’s my big baby boy. Marley I am still getting to know, but maybe I can teach him to come when called. He seems VERY smart.

[Monkeybun]

Mine only respond to their names when they are being bad

[Roberta]

Piglet and Nermal sometimes do, as for the others unless they think their names are Craisins, Yumyums and Treats, then No they could not be classed as coming when called.

[LBJ10]

Wooly knows his name. He responds when he wants to, which is usually when he thinks he’s getting something.

[ninjabun]

Grem is trained to come when I shake his treat bag, he prob knows his name but I call him diff things so he just ignores me then lol. I could prob start training him to come to his name but it’s not a big deal to me.

Charley knows her name and comes running if I call her. For craisins I just shake the bag and say treat treat and she comes sprinting lol.

All my buns come when shaking of the treat bag crinkles. Ha, more like.. they come barreling at me at full speed and then jump around like jack in the boxes until they get what they are looking for. I think they know their names but they don’t come to them. Simba is the only one of my buns who DEFINITELY knows his name as he was turn around and look whenever you say his name… but good Lord will he NOT come. Unless you have a treat.

I was so proud of her when I said “Velvet!” and she came running up the steps from the basement, but, of course she “expects” a treat. I keep the banana slices in a ziplock bag upstairs, so when she does listen I unzip the bag and throw it on the floor, it’s so funny watching as she goes around the bag till she finds the opening, then, she sticks half her body in there, grabs a piece and runs off to a corner.

 

The dried Pineapple I keep in the basement and when I call her she runs down the stairs. She will sit right below the corner of the table where the slices are at, and stand on her hind legs begging for me to give her one. I just Dehydrated 2 whole cans of pineapple chunks yesterday, god she love em. Won’t touch a non dried one though. I try to only give her maybe 3-5 a day but, even that might be too much on top of 3-4 dried banana slices. Gotta watch for extra cecals, so far so good.

Dutchess will sometimes come running when she hears the treat bag. I usually get the ear flick if I call her. Most of the time *I* have to come to *her majesty*.

I know this all too well! Haha.

Buster I THINK knows his name. Whenever I say it it’s in an excited tone though, which is also how I say “bed time” which means he gets a treat. I think he more gets excited when I’m excited  Either way, I can peek under my bed while he’s sleeping and call him and he comes bolting out for some pets. Always so adorable

[Elrohwen]

Sort of. Mine don’t really respond to their names, but they will come if you tap the floor with your hand. It’s conditional though – if they are out and being active, they’ll come when called. If they’re busy sleeping, no chance.

[longhairmike]

don’t kid yourself,, it’s all about the food

[Velvet]

Well, I can call the cat and no response but, if I say Velvet she comes looks for a treat, if none…………….bye! lol

[Bam]

Bam will come when I call him. It’s because most often he gets a treat when he does.

[MerlinsMom]

I’d like to think mine come when called… But deep down I know it’s the rattle of the treat box lol

[Velvet]

Velvet comes when called no rattle but, she’s disappointed and shows it if no treat. At least she knows her name. If I call Rudy our cat Velvet has no response at all, most of the time neither does Rudy, lol

I clicker trained Tait to respond to his name and a hand signal, so he does it 99% of time food or not. Nate is deaf, so no luck there I want to teach him the same hand signal as Tait though, so at least I have some way of calling him.
