Teaching a reliable recall from “The Whole Dog Journal

Teaching happy recalls
We’ve raised the standard since those obedience days some 30-plus years ago. Nowadays we want recalls that are not just reliable, but that are happy and fast as well. We want dogs who come because they want to and love it, not because they have to.

Please read the complete article at http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/11_12/features/Teaching-a-Reliable-Recall_16085-1.html

A solid recall is a valuable behavior for ALL dogs.
