🐶 The Ultimate Guide to Improving Your Dog's Recall in Ripon

Attention Dog Owners of Ripon!

Struggling with your dog's recall? At FMK9, we understand that recall training is essential for a happy and obedient pup. Here are 4 expert tips to improve your dog's recall skills:

🦴 Tip 1: Food Drive

As we know, repetition is the key to successful dog training. By using your dog's daily kibble or small healthy treats, you can reinforce positive behaviour repeatedly.

✅ Perfect for food-motivated dogs.
❌ For fussy eaters or dogs who ignore food outdoors, we’ve got you covered!

🎯 Tip 2: Use a Marker

A marker is a signal that tells your dog they’ve done the right thing. In this case, we recommend using a clicker.

How to use a clicker: 1️⃣ Recall your dog.
2️⃣ When they come back, click the clicker.
3️⃣ Reward immediately with a treat or praise.

🔗 Tip 3: Use a Longline

A 10M lightweight, waterproof longline is essential for recall training. Here's why:

❌ Flexi leads can break, especially with large breeds.
✅ A longline allows you to recover failed recalls, preventing bad habits from forming.

🛍️ Grab your 10M longline from FMK9.uk.

🌲 Tip 4: The Right Environment

In the early stages of recall training, choose a quiet, low-distraction environment.

🎯 Practice 20 recall commands per day.
✅ When you hit 18+ successful recalls consistently, move to a slightly higher distraction environment.
❌ If your dog struggles, go back to an easier environment and try again.
