Recall

How to get Fido to come to you when called!!
You need a bag of tasty treats and a long lead or 2 leads hooked together.
Take Fido to a area with little distraction.
Feed Fido a little treat (this will get his attention)
Show Fido the treat and step back using a command such as “here” or “come” and when he comes feed and praise him.
Repeat over and over!

AROUND THE HOUSE
With a pocket/ training pouch full of treats call Fido (again use the command you have chosen) throughout the day while going about your daily activities. When he comes treat and praise!
OFF LEASH
IT IS NOT RECOMMEND YOU LET YOUR DOG OFF LEASH IN A PUBLIC PARK UN LESS YOU ARE 100 % SURE YOUR DOG WILL RETURN WHEN CALLED.
In a secure area with little to no distractions get Fido’s attention again by feeding him a small treat.
Show Fido the treat and step back words using a command such as “here” or “come” and when he comes feed him.
Repeat over and over!
AID NEEDED
Each with treats in tow
Pace yourselves about 20 feet apart.
Feed Fido then have your aid call (using the command you have picked) and feed Fido and do this back and forth for 10 min.
(“goooooood boy or girl! In a happy excited voice. And a short but excited bout of pats)
(At the end of your training session instead of using “goooood boy or girl” use YESSSS! This becomes a command that will notify the dog that this training session is ending)
