Ever find yourself saying...?

 

• My dog’s recall is great...when there aren’t any distractions

 

• Their recall was good until they hit adolescence

 

• I call and call and they don’t come back…until they’re ready

 

• I’m so worried, they’ve run into the road before

 

• It’s embarrassing, I feel like I’ve got not control

 

• I’ve chased them across fields for hours

 

• They won’t let me put the lead back on at the end of the walk

 

• I just don’t trust my dog to come back

​

 

We hear you, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help!

 

Reliable recall is at the top of the wish-list for the majority of dog guardians, and this makes sense right!

 

You want to keep your dog safe - you don’t want them running in front of a car, or bothering other people, dogs or livestock who may be frightened by your dog and react badly to them (and maybe to you!).

 

Whether your pup’s once reliable recall has waned, your dog’s recall has always been a bit so-so, or you’d most likely tick the ‘non-existent’ box if you were ever asked about your dog’s recall in a survey, we’ve got the course to get your dog turning on their heels and heading in YOUR direction!

 

 

How Recall Stars can help you achieve off-lead freedom

 

Recall Stars is a 6 week, step-by-step training course that shows you how to build a keen and reliable recall response from your dog, EVEN when distractions are present.

 

Recall Stars will teach you how to:

 

• Build a super-charged whistle cue that your dog can’t resist responding to

​​

• Have fun with your dog throughout your walk, so that staying with and returning to you is a no-brainer

​​

• Layer your training steps around everyday distractions, so when it comes to the crunch, your dog chooses YOU!

​​

• Anticipate when a recall attempt is likely to be unsuccessful and know what to do instead

​​

• Stay positive and calmly in-control if your dog ignores a recall request

​​

• Avoid common training mistakes that reduce the likelihood of your dog coming back

 

 

Does it really work?

 

Yes! As long as you invest the time and follow the training steps outside of classes too.

Further course details

 ​

Will this course suit MY dog?

The course welcomes sociable dogs of any breed, gender and age (from 5 months old upwards), with or without any prior training experience.

 

How many dogs are there in a class?

A maximum of five dogs are invited to join each course to ensure that everyone gets plenty of individual attention from the trainer.

 

Who can my dog bring to class?

To help both the dogs and humans concentrate and get the most out of the classes, it is recommended that only one or two people accompany each dog to class. Canine chums are unfortunately not permitted.

 

Where does the course take place?

Outdoors in a securely-fenced grass paddock at K9 Woodland Services, located just off the A4074 at Summer Barn, Cane End, RG4 9HG (approximately equidistant between the main local towns of Henley-on-Thames, Reading and Wallingford, which are all around a 15 minute drive away).

What this course will not do

 

While Recall Stars provides you with a truck-load of tools to help you dramatically increase the likelihood of your dog running back to you when called, and you are likely to see significant improvement in your dog’s recall over the course of the programme (if you put in regular training with your dog), it is important to highlight that it is outside of the scope of this course to ‘proof’ your dog’s recall in every situation that they may encounter, and your dog’s recall may still be unreliable in certain circumstances, such as:

 

• In any environment or situation for which you have not yet practised, or have not yet sufficiently rehearsed, recall responsiveness during your training sessions

• If your dog has a strong predatory chase drive

• If your dog has a frightening experience during a walk that causes them to run for safety​
