The book’s strength lies in clear, engaging writing and, in particular, in its structured exercises designed to build a recall from scratch’. Dogs Today The perfect dog recall response will have your dog running to your side the moment you pip your whistle or call their name. They will come when you call wherever you are, whatever they are doing and whomever else is nearby. Getting a perfect recall is every dog owner’s dream, but dog recall training can be challenging. You need to teach the dog what you mean when you call them, and then that this cue should elicit the same response regardless of any other environmental factors. And that’s where most people fall short.
The Labrador Handbook is a definitive guide to raising and caring for the world’s most popular dog. I'm a fairly experienced dog owner ( have had 8 dogs of my own ) and have always been able to train my dogs to recall.

Top 5 Dog Training Books
Call your puppy to you from a metre or two away using the cue you have chosen (that is, ‘come’ or the puppy’s name). Use high value treats and lots of praise and attention to reward your puppy for coming to you. Repeat this many times until your puppy comes to you every time. Is the environment too stimulating? Are the rewards you’re using rewarding enough? How long has it been since your dog’s last off-lead romp.
A popular review of this book almost had me passing it by because recall training should be simple, but my 12 month old Springer decided not to come in for 3 1/2 hours and the book was recommended to me. In desperation, I decided to give it a go. It is hard because successful recall training requires effective use of rewards. And it’s also hard because distraction training is more difficult when the dog is further away, and of course with recall, your dog by definition is never close to you.

Dog recall is a final safety net. A way to get your dog instantly out of dangerous situations, from cliff edges to road sides and even out of the clutches of potential dognappers! He will run to you when you have food ready for him (supper time) and he will run to you if you make lots of nice encouraging squeaky noises or when you get down on the floor to his level. Okay, let’s get straight to those dog training guides! And if you haven’t time to read them now, here’s a pin so that you can save them for later. Always reward a dog for a successful recall. While it isn’t necessary to have food treats with you at all times, it’s important that you have them often enough to keep reinforcing the desired behaviour. So now that we understand a little more about why so many dogs disobey the recall command, how do we go about training them to obey? In theory it’s simple. We must be more exciting and more rewarding than all those people, dogs and other distractions at the off-lead park.
We bought our entire gang indoors recently, after the worrying spate of gundog thefts across Hampshire. Thieves were targeting working gundog kennels and we decided that leaving them outdoors was just not worth the worry.These three factors are what separate people whose dogs have a great recall, from people whose dogs won’t come when they are called. Let’s take a closer look. Dog Recall Training with Distractions If you call your dog and your dog ignores you, don’t continue to call it over and over, and don’t give chase. Wait for your dog to be less distracted and try again. Use an event marker. An event marker is a signal (usually a sound) that tells the puppy he is about to get a reward. increase off lead time gradually to build up good habits and increase the number of successful walks
