I like the term reflexive. I try to describe what the dogs response to a recall should be in our training group, and reflexive is the word I have been looking for. Thanks Ed.

This is the most important exercise to teach a dog!! I've been doing this same training for over 60 years. I've lived in the mountains for 50+ years and my criteria is that my pups don't come off the leash (or long line) until I know that I can call them off a fox or a herd of deer. This means that they turn on a dime and leave change and come running back as soon as I call!! (I raised and trained Siberian Huskies for 20 years. I was able to call three Sibes off a porcupine one day when we were out in the woods. Whew. The training works!). I haven't done as much as usual with a young year old Border Collie yet because he had so many problems as a very young pup when he came to me for rehabilitation. I have trained him to sit and stay at the top of my driveway while I cross the road to get my mail. Recently, as I got my mail, I turned to see him streaking down the road and then saw a herd of deer crossing in front of him. I called him once and, by golly, he turned on a dime, left change and came RUNNING back to me. A good test, for sure. (Yes, he broke his stay, but got lavish praise for coming!). So listen to Ed. He knows what he is talking about!!
