Dog recall training

Recall training is to let the dog understand the importance of recall by letting the dog recognize the owner's meaningful calls. In the future, the dog can be recalled immediately even if the leash is let go when going out. . Choose a safe and quiet space for training, and prepare a short rope about four feet long and a long rope about twenty feet long. The dog must first learn basic walking and focus on the owner before proceeding with the recall training.

Dog short leash recall training

First, train in a quiet space to make it easier for the dog to notice the owner. Play with it first to attract attention and increase trust before you start training. Training with a short leash first can make it easier for the dog to understand the meaning of recall.

Step1

Shorten the dog leash to a length that is a little far away but will not pull the dog, making it easier to control it from walking around. Hold the food in the other hand and use the smell of the food to attract its attention.

Step2

Straighten your hands and hold the food firmly in your hands. At this time, it is wrong for the dog to try to get food by scratching, pouncing, or biting, and must not be given to it.

Step3

The owner leads the dog to walk with his hands vertical, and continues to call the dog’s name during walking, calling it to follow him. If the dog leash is too long, the dog will be easily distracted by other objects around it and leave.

Step4

When the dog can keep following, stand firm on all fours, look up, and focus on the owner, reward food. Rewards can be praise, toys, anything that your dog likes so that it feels happy to respond to your calls.

Long rope recall training for dogs

When the dog is familiar with short rope training and can respond to your calls, it can be further switched to long rope training. If the dog runs away, you can use a long rope to pull it back in time to prevent it from getting lost.

Step1

First, ask the dog to sit down and wait, and then gradually open a farther distance from it.

Step2

Call the dog's name from a distance, give the command to come back, and call it back. If the dog comes right away, remember to reward it.

Training Precautions

Owners must remember not to tease the dog every time they are called back, as this will make the dog think that calling back is not a good thing and will not respond to you. As long as the dog looks at the owner and pays attention, reward it. Training becomes more successful when the dog shows interest in its owner. Training should not just be practiced at home, but should be conducted in noisy environments of varying degrees to allow the dog to adapt. If your dog rarely goes out, he may not be able to be retrieved on the street due to different environmental factors.
