Always consider who or what your dog may unknowingly run into!
Your dog may be friendly, but that doesn't mean all the dogs they run up to will be!
To be a responsible dog owner we need to think ahead and set our dogs up to succeed!
Be honest with yourself about how much control you really have over the dog!

Freedom can be one of the best rewards for your dog!
When practicing off lead exercises these dogs are displaying good responses to my commands, I can reward them by giving them more freedom to run, sniff and explore!
Recall tips
Use anything that motivates your dog to your advantage
Manu loves a stick! So im using that stick to reward and excite him when he comes back to me after calling his name, increasing the positive association of recall and coming towards me!
What things does your dog love? Use those to train some recall and tell us how you get on!!

Eye contact! So important to teach your dog to make eye contact with you as it really enhances the connection with humans
This will carry over to so many aspects of your dogs life whenever they need or want something or are in search of guidance from you they will focus on you and give you solid eye contact
Try this with your dog and see the changes!

Invisible lead practice
Keeping the dog close, as soon as he drifts, encouraging him to come closer, keeping him in a follow mindset and paying attention to my movements
Working on recall with Izzy, complete with sit and eye contact, very important to gain the dogs focus and attention on me not just the treat, also to have her in a sit so i can put the lead back on if i wish, nice work Iz!! πππΎ
