🐾 Recall Training – A Team Effort! 🐾
A reliable recall is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog – and it’s not just about safety, it’s about freedom and trust too.
That’s why we love it when everyone in the family gets involved. Training isn’t just between you and your dog – the more your pup learns to respond to all their humans, the stronger and more reliable their recall becomes.
That small, speeding bullet you can just see in the video is Fern, our 16 week old(!) Border Terrier. With Fern, we’ve been working on recall using a mix of hand touch and the fun “chase me” game – both keep her engaged, focused, and eager to come back. And we’ve been practicing around the three D’s:
✨ Difficulty – making the task a little trickier each time
✨ Distance – calling from further away
✨ Distractions – like her classmates and a few random dogs running across the field!
It’s no mean feat keeping that focus when the world is so exciting, but Fern and her family nailed it, with Emilia and Sofia doing their best to be way better than the outside world! 💪🐶
Building recall is about consistency, practice, and making it rewarding – for both dog and human. And when the whole family gets involved, you’re setting your dog up for success in every situation.
