Let’s talk about ✨Recall✨
Recall is the most important thing you can teach your dog for safety and peace of mind on walks.
How we do it is simple: we make coming back part of the fun!
It’s super easy to fall into the habit of only calling your dog back when it’s time to go on the lead or to go home. This, over time, can teach our dogs that recall means the fun is over!
Instead, encourage your dog to come back to you throughout the walk, reward them however they most like to be rewarded (whether that be praise, playing with them, or a tasty treat), then release them to play and explore again!
By being part of the fun, we can ensure our dogs come back to us because they WANT to.
🐾 Tall Tails Top Tip: On our walks, we find that butt scratches work best as a reward! Our dogs even race back now to be the first to get them! 🐾
