Training The Recall DVD - Michael Ellis

Having a solid recall command is hands down the most important behavior you can train your dogs. As Michael Ellis always says, “You can have a dog that won’t sit, down, or stand, but you cannot live with a dog that will not come when called”. This is true regardless of your ultimate training goals. Whether you are training a working dog for high level competition, a police k9, or and every day house dog your dog must come when called no matter what.

This DVD offers a step by step training regimen that will be both simple and fun for you and your dog. In the end you will have a dog that comes when called through any distractions, or competing motivators, within the environment.

The training begins with restrained recalls. A restrained recall is a fun game you can play with your dog that will also have countless engagement and training benefits outside of the recall progression. From there you will learn how to begin adding more difficulty into your training. This is done through the use of distraction free recalls, and eventually call aways, and call offs. Once your dog is recalling through basic distractions you will learn how to slowly and methodically increase the level of distraction.
