- Learn how to teach a dog to come when called it one of the most important training skills you and your dog will work on. A reliable recall is an important safety cue, as well as a cue that can have a HUGE impact on your dog!
A dog with a reliable, bomb-proof recall can be allowed to wander in off-leash spaces, allowing for more exploration, sniffing, and tremendous freedom.
While teaching a truly reliable recall requires practice and repetition in a variety of settings, the rewards are incredible for both you and your pooch!
Today we're breaking down how to train a dog to come when called with treats - no e-collars or punishment necessary! When it comes down to it, polishing your recall is all about providing your dog with INCREDIBLE rewards for recall and practicing in various environments. Remember, dogs aren't great at generalizing, so you'll need to continue to reinforce your recall work in all kinds of different locations and around different distractions for it to really sink in!

A video on long lead whilst on a trail or out walking would be great!
We do a lot of long leash walks so I’m sure I could put something like that together!
@@K9ofMine brilliant!!!
Excellent tips!
Thanks for the great tips! I've worked on and off with our 5 yr old pit/lab on her recall with *some* success. I'm excited to try using these more detailed steps.
Good luck!!
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Really nice video.
Glad you liked it!
It's really hard to focus on the videos when Remy is so friggin cute. But seriously, love your videos, thank you.
Aww thanks! And I’ll tell Remy he has a fan ❤️
Remy is adorable ❤️
THANK YOU! 😍 I like to think so, that’s how he tricked me into adopting him
Awesome! My dog was hurt by a long lead. How do you avoid whiplash when your dogs starts running full speed and is brought to an abrupt halt by reaching the end of the long lead?
To avoid this, I’d suggest thinking about the long leash a bit differently. Really, when your dog is on a long leash, the focus is giving them as much freedom of movement as possible. With this in mind, I’d try keeping little to no pressure on the long leash. Instead, just let your dog lead and you follow. Many folks just let the long leash drag on the ground and follow it along, just ready to step on it if need be.
If your dog is completely bolting in the opposite direction while on a long line, I’d suggest working on engagement and recall - that’ll offer you better ways of getting your dog’s attention and refocusing them rather than them getting clotheslined!
And generally, it’s a good idea to have your dog on a harness instead of a collar for a long line - that should also help w safety!
Could you share some good options for long leashes? If you’ve already done that I am missing it somehow. Thanks!
Absolutely, we have a full video about long leashes here: ua-cam.com/video/er_Zfudksv4/v-deo.html
Unfortunately nothing is working for my hound. When she is chasing after birds she doesn't mind me at all. Treats don't work, toys don't work nothing is better than a good hount. There are trees and birds everywhere, where I live. Even walking on leash is distracting. She is paying more attention to the world around than me... Do you have any tips here please?
It sounds like you're specifically struggling with prey drive. Prey drive can be really tough because it is so instinctual, especially in breeds like hounds. Ideally, you'll want to practice at a far distance where your dog can see the squirrels and prey, but can still pay attention to you. I'd also suggest experimenting with really amazing treats like boiled chicken -- something totally irresistible.
Instead of trying to get her to listen to you, I might try starting off by just throwing chicken on the ground near her -- anything to help her break the focus off of the prey. Listening to a cue from you might be too challenging, but sniffing after food in front of her feet might be doable.

This was great, thank you! I'm definitely going to start working on this with my 8 year old terrier/pit mix who's selective hearing turns on when I say come 😆it's never too late! My one question is should I use a different recall phrase for my younger dog? He already responds pretty well to Ollie-come (kind of like yours), but I am thinking of changing my recall phrase for my older dog because she may have negative connotations with come which could be part of the reason she doesn't listen. Thanks!
Yeah if he’s burnt out on the original it might be worth switching to a new one. I’ve also seen some people have great success with a dog whistle for recall!
@@K9ofMine thank you! And do you think it’s okay/better/worse for my dogs to have two different recalls?
I think it’s fine. I know some folks who have a “normal” recall and then use a whistle for a super special ultra bomb-proof recall. Usually the special recall should only be for emergencies and you want to practice it with an insanely high reward like meat pate or something super special.
I use a whisttle when I'm deadly serious my dog needs to come back because a serious situation is going to happen. He is a stubborn akita but knows I'm deadly serious when that whistle blows. The thing is when training for this, failure is absolutely 100 percent not an option. Use a treat he goes absolutely nuts for, cooked liver in my dogs case and set him up for success in your training sessions. Be sure he will come back to you because he is happy and mentally in the right frame of mind. When you first start the training always give him the a piece of this high reward treat so he knows what he us going to get and then train him. I would only call my only once in a training session and that would be it until the next day. You dont do it often ( well I didn't) Sometimes I would leave it for a few days. He now knows the whistle is always going to get him the highest reward and don't foget to praise the fuck out of him. This could save your dogs life. Now when he goes into the garden to do his business occasionally use this as an opportunity to train him and remember failure is not an option. My dog has never failed me with this method although he is now getting older(16 months old) and more sensible.If a high drive akita can be trained it should work with any dog. When training, as I keep saying, failure is not an option and if he does fail just once, the system is then a waste of time. When doing normal recalls without the whistle, the rule is never let the dog blow you off. If you call him and he doesn't come to you, get off you lazy arses and go and get your dog and bring him back to where you originally called him from. Always do this and you dont need treats for it either. If it takes you all day.. go to your dog and always bring him back. After a short time your dog will come nearly almost everytime come back to you because they will know they can't get away with blowing you off. If this doesn't work your dog is fucking retarded.
Quick question what training treats would u recommend, For beginners ?
Hi Bella - it's really your dog who decides what treats you should use! You want to use whatever your dog finds highly motivating. Some easy high-value treats might be hot dogs cut up into small pieces or string cheese. But there are lots of manufactured freeze-dried treats and moist training treats that can work great too! I personally am a big fan of Zuke's training treats.
For f'cks sake never, ever give dogs hot dogs. They are high in salt and just a little to much salt can have serious long term heath problems for dogs.
