Building a Reliable Recall

The Recall command—getting your dog to come when called—is one of the most important skills your dog will ever learn. This lesson introduces the first steps to build a strong recall, using positive reinforcement to make coming back to you a rewarding experience.

What You’ll Need:

  • High-value treats or part of a meal

  • Optional: tug/toy your dog loves (must already be conditioned to it)

  • Leash (especially for public or high-distraction areas)
