recall help

[fieldsman 51]

I think going back to basics in your garden or other enclosed area sit stay lay ect once she sits on command and stays recall will come easily jmo.

 

That method only works on the basis, that if you've made the dog stay away from you, it naturally wants to come. It doesn't train the dog to come over long distances when it doesn't want to. It's also bad practice to recall from a stay position during training, it easily leads to an unsteady stay.Good practice is to go to the dog, touch and release the dog. best practice in the field is to, whenever possable send the dog on from the stay before recall.Only recall from the stay when you have to.

It does if you increase the distance using a whistle untill your 2 or 300 meters away eventually only a peep on a wistle is needed to bring it back. Allso using hand signalls will help with enough repetition the dog will look on hearing the wistle the for a hand signal I tap my leg to heel for instance but people use differant hand movments for differant things work out your own system jmo

I know all about hand signals mate, my dog will go down and stay,get on,go right and left,recall and heel, with either voice, whistle or hand signals.I once trained a dog to lie down by telepathy, at least thats what I told folk, what I realy did was train it to lie down with a tiny tut sound I did with my tongue that folk didn't hear.
