I love training recall!
Here is Koda around 5/6 months old disappearing into the hedge doing what his breed does best! But I need to be able to ensure he’s safe by coming straight back to me at all times.
Here I was working on distance AND distractions since he was out of sight and clearly following a scent.
The best way I train a recall is on a whistle since I know the cue will always sound the same and can travel further than my feeble voice! And of course, a very high valued treat or item to always reward this behaviour.
But, this does not mean my ultimate goal has been achieved… it’s only in this moment in time.
Continuing to train in all environments, including training back in familiar places like their home will ensure the behaviour stays strong 🐕
