BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Recall for me as I sometimes work the dogs around factories and industrial sites killing rats, so need the dog to be completely steady to the recall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First thing any dog should be taught I.L not just workers but pet dogs, boils me when I see uncontrollable pet dogs running loose and you hear the same owners shouting on them all the time, especially near main roads Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scarface 10 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 how would you say is the best way to train an older dog for recall my terrier becomes "deaf" when he's covering ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 With a long bit of rope tied to it's collar, let it run for a bit then shout n it and if it doesn't respond a quick tug on the rope should have it starting to come back to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yes Scarface a nice treat to help them along will do them no harm, cut down giving the treat though after a few days, say 1 treat every 5 times, then once every 10 times or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlefish 549 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Surely a sound recall is the basis of good retreive? I would say a retreive is a recall, only the dog is arriving with a 'gift' for the handler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
