Good work to these two! You can clearly see the effort put in at home. Also good news! Rosie's reactivity has lessened a lot! Rosie's owner has reported of much smoother and easier walks, and Rosie has gained some more confidence, during her sessions we practice climbing under and over objects, through tunnels, and weird noises.

Having a great time @caninesportsllc
✨RECALL✨ Here are my top 4 ways to teach and practice recall!
1. Associating the cue/sound with high value rewards. As seen in the video we associated the sound of the whistle with lots of praise and treats.
2. Building excitement and adding tension! This requires a helper, have the helper hold your dogs leash while you baby talk them and get them excited, say your recall cue or blow your whistle then have them release your dog. Watch how excited they get to come to you!
3. Using your dogs prey and pack drive. Run away from your dog as soon as you have their attention. When they start running with you say your recall cue/ blow your whistle, stop and reward!
4. Practice off of distractions and adding distance. Attach your dog to a long line and wait for them to get distracted by something, say your recall cue/ blow your whistle and reward them as they come back. If they don't, give them a slight tug on the line and start praising as soon as they look towards you!
