How a recall plan is built
- A distinct cue word that is used only for coming.
- High-value rewards that are worth leaving fun for.
- Practice on a long line before any off-leash work.
- A rule to never call your dog for something unpleasant.
- Gradual increases in distance, noise and temptation.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Can every dog learn a recall?
Most can learn something useful. Reliability depends on breed tendencies, history and how much practice happens.
Should I let my dog off leash?
Only where it is allowed and secure, and only when the skill holds on a long line first. Check posted rules.
What if my dog ignores me outdoors?
You have probably moved too fast. Return to an easier setting and rebuild.
What is a good recall reward?
Something your dog finds amazing, such as a favorite food, a tug game or a chase together.
