Training recall

Your secret weapon

Once your dog has a basic understanding of what you mean by 'come', you can begin to cement the behaviour with this secret weapon: Every once in a while make the prize to a successful recall, very, VERY special. It could be freshly cooked chicken breast, or something else that is a rare but very tasty treat. Remember it has to be extra special - something the dog will remember. Just make sure the dog has no idea this recall has an extra special reward coming up - as the idea is to put him in the frame of mind that the next reward could be a highly valued prize.
