Biggest Mistake with Recall
šØ The biggest mistake dog owners make with recall training?
Only calling their dog back when they REALLY need them!
Picture this...
Your dog is enjoying the best sniff of their life.
Another dog appears.
Something moves in the bushes.
And now you're calling their name over and over.
But they're not coming.
Here's what many owners don't realise:
Recall needs to be practised BEFORE you need it.
š¾ Start somewhere quiet.
š¾ Reward your dog for coming back.
š¾ Build up distractions gradually.
š¾ Sometimes reward them and let them go back to exploring.
If coming back always means the fun ends, why would they be excited to return?
Reliable recall isn't built through shouting louder.
It's built through practice, patience and helping your dog succeed.
That's why I believe in training for the situation, not in the situation.
š Save this so you don't lose it ā especially if recall is something you're working on with your dog!
