If your dog happily comes running to you on command, you have achieved something wonderful! The recall is not an easy discipline because at that exact moment you call him, your dog MUST leave behind exactly what has just captivated his interest; no ifs, ands, or buts.
As you can imagine, teaching a safe recall is a fair amount of work. The command should be practiced over and over and over again. Due to the immense importance of recall in everyday life, the command must be trained extensively and correctly.
Recall is extremely helpful in many everyday situations. The recall can avoid and defuse conflicts that threaten to arise between your dog and other four-legged friends, other people or yourself, and all sorts of dangerous situations. A well-practiced recall also builds a good relationship between you and your dog. It can be really exhausting and nerve-wracking when your pup sniffs everything, everywhere, runs to every other dog and human he sees, follows tracks, chases wildlife and only decides on his own when to return to you. The recall command helps keep your dog safe!
Imagine your dog picking up an interesting trail and walking in the direction of a busy road or in front of a cyclist. In this situation, you want to be confident that you can “steer” your dog from a distance and call him back to you safely.
You and your dog can learn this crucial command at The Training Center at Dog Days Daycare!
