Want a reliable recall? 🐕💨
My top recall training tip is simple: always reinforce your dog for coming when you call.
Remember, reinforcement doesn’t have to mean food! 🙌
Depending on your dog and what’s happening around them, the best reinforcer might be going back to playing, swimming, sniffing, greeting a friend, having a game with you, getting a good bum scratch, or enjoying something delicious. 🥩🐟
For my dogs, I often carry high-value cooked meat or fish when we’re out.
And I’ve just discovered these little silicone Snacket pouches that fit straight into my pocket. Perfect as we head into warmer weather and the training jacket gets left at home! ☀️
A reliable recall is built through lots of reinforcement, so make coming back to you worth it. 💛
