Recall training

A recall that works when it matters.

Great at home, selective at the park? Build a recall that holds up outside, using high-value reinforcement, long-line practice and carefully increased distance and distraction.

Dog running back to its owner during recall practice

The approach

Three steps to a reliable recall

Build value

Create a strong history of great things happening when your dog turns and runs back to you.

Use a long line

Give freedom safely while reliability develops, so your dog doesn't practise ignoring the cue.

Progress deliberately

Increase distance and distraction separately so your dog keeps succeeding.

FAQ

Common questions

Can my dog ever be off lead?

Many dogs can, in the right places. Megan will help you decide when your dog is ready and where it's legal and safe — in NSW, dogs must be on lead in public places except in designated off-leash areas.

My dog is a scent hound / working breed. Is it hopeless?

Not at all — but you'll need to work with their instincts, not against them. Scent-driven dogs often do brilliantly when sniffing becomes part of the reward.

What's the best recall treat?

Whatever your dog loves most in that moment. For recall, go high-value: cheese, chicken, a tug toy, or the chance to chase or sniff.
