I need to work on this technique with my dog. She’s stubborn about recall when she’s distracted by something more interesting.

Your videos have been great for teaching my dog many things because of the fact that you explain the underlying mechanism of how the training conditions the dog to do what you want. Every dog has a different demeanor and motivations but I've found that once you know your dog and you understand how the training is supposed to work you can adapt each routine to suit them.

I'm going to try to adapt this to my dog, I think it will be tricky since she is mostly motivated by tug of war and fetch already but she comes unprompted for those. She is also highly motivated by new people though I think that will lessen at least a bit by the time she is a year old. In order to make this work I took her favorite toy away (a frisbee she likes to chew and play fetch with) and I've started calling her proactively from out of sight. I'm hoping this alteration will change the association from seeing the toy and getting excited and to getting excited by the call itself in anticipation of seeing the toy.

I told my wife this the other day, she eye rolled me.
But then I did it a few times and Sky came a running each time

It’s easier - just learn here by playing. Sit wait and come (here) and reward the coming/here with words. When the dog doesn’t do it with disattraction- just stop the walk - go home - put him in his bed and ignore him. In the evening only give him a walk on the leash. Keep repeating and the training too - that’s it! Every dog will learn, they get a nice life when they listen 😉 some just have a hard few weeks - this is really effective if the dog disobeys. It’s the most important thing for a dog to understand that he follows you and not opposite - treats is difficult as it works but has absolutely no effect in challenging moments - more hoping that the dog obey. However, making dogs to obey without treats is more effective. You can give my dog a rump steak but he won’t touch it when I say no. Same when he plays and I call his name firmly by here!!! 2 - 5 seconds he is around the corner. Walks next to me without leash- safe for other dogs and the society. However dogs I dogsit who got trained with treats are addicted to them and do everything if they are around but nothing because they obey you 😢 which finally is a threat to society and other dogs - a dog needs a leader. I cant emphasise this enough. The dog needs to understand that his life is miserable when not obey your commands are serious in a firm tone. Dog education is not just being the nicest person on the planet - it’s being responsible for a safe society and therefor it’s mandatory that your dogs absolutely obey your commands!

I really am not sure how to teach my 2 year old high energy golden retriever the perfect recall even though I understand the motivators and such. His biggest motivator are simply other dogs and no amount of treats, praises or head scratches will ever change that. Ive been trying to be as awesome for him as possible when teaching these things and it kinda works when we are in an area with no other dogs around. But once he sees a dog, especially a female one I might as well not exist.

I understand teaching the perfect recall might be easy when your dogs favourite thing is a tennis ball. But other dogs? And especially female dogs, they dont even have to be in heat for him to go absolutely crazy. No one has been able to help me with this, not even professionals Ive seen in the past.

I love my dog. But its not easy going on a nice walk with him, when he gets so easily distracted by other dogs and when not on a leash, he darts straight to them. I just wish there was SOMETHING he would value more than running to other dogs.

what do you think of beckman's "go get method'??

[nancypozgay]

I have a 13 yr old Treeing Walker Coonhound, a 6 yr of American Foxhound and a 10 mo old Chocolate Lab/Walker/Plott hound going though massive adolescence. All my girls are spayed and rescues. Even though I’m very motivated, the wildlife and other triggers are deviation from my commands. Holly, the senior Treeing Walker, is a wonderful girl, the other two hunt a rattlesnake in the yard. Yesterday, “leave It” worked, but the desire to hunt, overwhelms my commands. Any other suggestions. Nancy

Oh, my two dogs know just how awesome I am 😘

[chrisf]

Could you do this with a stubborn corgi

[jaxx_the_puggle]

Mine is very food motivated but over the field he’s still not got good recall. He does occasionally but mostly not. Especially if he sees a dog before I do. Then he won’t come back at all 😬

[newjones]

I don't really believe stuff like this works with my Kangals. There just a different kind of dog.

[Privatereporter]

I have tried all of this. Everything, every trick, every training idea and my dog gets outside in my fenced yard and wont' come in. He is a 1 year old English setter who runs away no matter what I try. The only person he listens to is my spouse. He has been outside for three hours and he comes to the door and then runs away. I go outside, he runs away. I get frustrated and just leave him out there but I need to leave for appointments or to go to work and can't get him inside.

[Curious.Badger]

Gonna try this with my husky. She breaks out of the house and then we have to chase her around the park and doesn't listen.

I'm sorry but, if there is children I simply disappear in my dog's eyes. I can't be more awesome than a kid even with food. She just love play with kids. When a kid cuddle her she is the happiest doggo in the world. Unfortunately I don't have kids in my pocket to reward her when she obey
