Good Job Evan!! My dogs have come when I called for years. Glad your gettin em trained.....
I dont know why you would be shooting at your dog after calling it to you. That doesnt make much sense. If you pet them after you call, they will come easier next time.
Oh, and you saw a coyote while you were out dog training, thats cool too......
BTW, a 30-06 with any bullet will never be a fur rifle. Dont fool yourself or blow it up any of our hineys either.

One more thing, follow up shots are only needed on coyotes, I dont know about dogs, on poor first shots. I would be willing to bet I have killed at least close to as many as you have, if not more, and very few need follow up shots. And, most of mine have been killed with a .224 cal bullet and smaller. Know why? Good first shots.
Of course thats on coyotes. Now if your shooting bull mastifs or something.....
