Recall training

Tools:

• A long line (10' horse bridle; $9 at a feed store)
• High value treats (Billjack liver treats)

How to train recall:

Keep a long line attached to shy dogs at all times. (So they can't practice fleet from you.)

Reserve a couple of daily 5 minute sessions to train.

Put high value treats in your pocket (in the morning) so they're with you all day.

• Attach the long line to your dog's non slip collar. 
• Call her to you.
• On the second command, if she hasn't come to you, pull her to you. Praise every step!
• When she has arrived at your knee, offer a treat and praise. Be enthusiastic!!
• Don't worry if she won't take the treat. The praise is beneficial.
• Do this exercise for 5 minutes.
• The more times you practice, the more improvement you'll see in your dog's behavior.

'Practice and praise' are the secrets to positive training... Good recall will save your dog's life someday!
