Dog ignoring recall – struggling with recall training? Focus Dog Behaviour and Training can help

Real dogs, real life. With the right training, dogs learn to check in and choose to recall themselves.

While results like this take time and consistency, my Recall Programme gives you the skills and structure to start building this level of recall and engagement with your own dog.

 Poor Recall Can:
  • Put your dog (and others) at risk.
  • Cause stress on every walk.
  • Limit your dog’s freedom and fun.
  • Leave you feeling like you’ve failed.

Recall Myth Busting

  • "My puppy/dog will grow out of poor recall". No, they won’t. Habits only get stronger.
  • "It's better to wait until my puppy is older". No, The sooner you start, the better.
  • "I need to be the most exciting thing in the park". No, you need a solid history of reinforcement and distraction training.
  • "It's okay, they come back most of the time".  Your dog's safety and the safety of others is your responsibility ALL of the time.
  •  "My dog is just being stubborn, disobedient or dominant off-lead. They know they ought to come back". Not wanting to return can be due to many things, being stubborn or/and disobedient has no part to play in it.

Recall training is some of the most fun you and your dog can have together!
