The check in.

Underrated, but highly effective in teaching your dog that choosing you in a high stimulation environment is the correct decision.

In this session with Koda, I'm working towards the following goals:
Voluntary calm position(sit, down or even a stand)
No leash pressure
Focussed check in

We were working in the front yard/driveway area of the clients home, where there were people walking by, other dogs, birds and plenty of shadows(his favorite free entertainment)

My main expectation was for Koda to remain by my side and choose to make eye contact and eventually maintain it, irrespective of the external stimulus.

It's still very early days, but he showed lovely progress.

A reliable recall is one of the most important skills a dog can learn.

Whether they've spotted a squirrel, another dog, or simply decided that exploring is more exciting than listening, being able to call your dog back quickly and confidently can make all the difference.

Recall isn't about taking away your dog's freedom—it's about creating the kind of trust and communication that allows them to enjoy more of it safely.

🐾 The goal isn't for your dog to stay by your side all the time. It's for them to come back when it matters.
