SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT ON ….. RECALL!
Do you dread the thought of letting your dog off-lead, knowing you’ll invariably witness your canine companion tear off uncontrollably into the distance? Are you tired of repeatedly calling your dog, embarrassed that they choose to ignore you and just keep doing what they want? Even worse, has your dog’s inability to listen to you put them in the path of danger?
Then you’re not alone! If you take just a moment to observe the off lead behaviour of dogs in the park, it will soon become clear that other owners struggle with exactly the same issue as you!
There are many reasons why puppies and dogs fail to return when called, ranging from the euphoria of freedom, distractions (dogs, people, birds, deer, water, smells etc), inherent traits of chase or scent driven breeds, fear of end of fun (leash going back on) or perceived punishment for late return, the list goes on.
However, in our experience one of the key reasons for poor recall which is missing from the above list is TRAINING ….. the art of teaching your dog this crucial skill rather than just hoping it will happen, see below:
Owner expectation - HIGH

➡️ EFFECTIVE TRAINING ⬅️

Dog’s ability - LOW
