HOW TO Train Your Dog/ Puppy To COME WHEN CALLED!

What's Up Everyone!
In this video I will show you the very first steps to training a RELIABLE RECALL! Biggest mistake dog owners make when attempting to teach this is MOVING WAY TOO FAST! To build a legitimate recall takes hundreds - thousands of perfect repetitions in a controlled environment. Sure, some can get super lucky and have a dog that just "does it", but even then, I bet I could find some major holes!
This exercise can be applied to any dog of any age!

Just came in from trying this out with each of my labs (in different sessions). Now I'm tired but that was soooo much fun and a big moral booster for myself. The hardest part was digging out the retractable leash (and emotions) I had for my lab who we lost to old age about 6 years ago (love and miss you Belle).

@@AndyKrueger you also been saving me money. By saying use kibble and make the dog work for his food. Using treats all the time is also cost, now I just purchase treats like every second month all thanks to you. In future videos it would be nice to see mental sitimulation videos on a job to give your dog like for couple of hours in when you not around. Like I been giving my dog a kong toy stuffing it with treats like once a day or twice. And another mental exercise I give him to do is, I put treats in a empty plastic bottle and he must figure out how to get it out. I am also thinking of hidding treats in a bottle in the yard or in a kong toy and he must look for it, just to keep my dogs mind mentally sharp. Would be nice if you can do few video ideas on this topic🤙

It takes forever for him to walk away far enough to practice recall 😂; trying this tomorrow! Thank you for another great video!

My female Jack Russell was rescued from the streets of Sydney's Kings Cross we connected right from the start. I get around on a mobility scooter so using a lead is difficult so luckily she always comes when I blow the horn I bought from a Two Dollar shop. One time at 1am she took off with her Chihuahua boy friend I didn't know where they went so I just rode around the streets blowing the horn and they finally emerged from a block of flats. She's so loyal and obedient and she's just woken up so I better take her out for her midnight walkies.

Ok ready for 1,000! Love it!! Question: would you ever use his kibble for the bowl, then use a higher value food (like chicken) for the recall? If so, would you ever recall before he is finished the kibble in the bowl? Thanks Andy!! You’re the best!!🙌🏼

Just kibble is best! Let him finish before recalling. Calling while he’s in the middle of eating is more advanced 👍🏻

[@kerwingray9386]

I spent about six weeks at Michael Ellis school, but it was over ten years ago. My wife has a new dog (working line GSD), and I am attempting to coach her training. So I am reviewing a lot of other trainers to expand my knowledge. Ellis suggests restrained recalls for introducing the recall. But our problem is that I am just too much of a distraction to be an effective helper. This food technique is brilliant. I did suggest a minor refinement to the wife. Kibble in the bowl and meat roll in her bait bag. Might be too valuable and interfere with the attraction of the bowl, but it is worth an experiment.

[@carolcrosby2177]

I thought the same. If the dog is coming back slowly then up the reward value. Also important to have the dog really hungry. Rinse and repeat is the key here. 100s of reps over a month. Loyal patreon crew here.

The kibble being on both ends is actually very important. But to each his own! 🙏🏼

[@CakewalkHootenanny]

Hey thanks for posting. I do this drill with my lab mix in the backyard. There I don't have to use a leash. He anticipates the reward and sprints to me. The problem is when I do not have a treat and call him to me, he will stubbornly pause to decide if he feels like it. I have been practicing recall with him 3-5 times a week for 4 years now but he is still not reliable when there is another dog or higher reward. Suggestions? (I am sure I don't do 1,000 reps in a month)

[@AndyKrueger]

It’s 1000 reps until you can move onto the next step. This is merely the beginning of a process of conditioning/ training 👍🏻

[@inkwhiskers9948]

Hand feeding during training for the win! If every dog owner did this with their puppy every day of its life, or even five out of seven days, imagine the difference. I can't imagine how much more slowly puppy training would go without them working for their meals.

Andy, I am in a wheelchair with a 6 month old golden retriever. It is difficult to mimic many of you techniques. I fear running over the dogs feet and need for him to heal a small distance from the chair. The way you move during sit, down and stay and recall is not easily done in a chair. Can you do a couple of session for us handicapped in wheelchair? Thanks in advance

If I got one of those breeds when they were older and had a bunch of experience that didn’t come from me, no doubt they’d be way more difficult to train and possibly never achieve my standard.
