Hey there, Snipverse! ?

Today, let's delve into the essential skill of recall, teaching your dog to come when called using the BEST method. A strong recall can keep your dog safe and ensure they respond quickly in various situations. ??

1️⃣ Choose a Unique Command: Select a specific word or phrase to use as your recall command, such as "come," "here," or a unique word that your dog will associate with returning to you. ?️?

2️⃣ Start in a Distraction-Free Environment: Begin training in a quiet, familiar area where your dog feels comfortable and can focus on the task at hand. ?✨

3️⃣ Reward and Praise: When your dog comes to you after hearing the command, offer praise, treats, or affection as positive reinforcement, encouraging them to continue the behavior. ??

4️⃣ Use Body Language: Encourage your dog to come by using inviting body language, such as crouching down, patting your legs, or using hand signals. This helps make the recall command more inviting. ??

5️⃣ Gradually Increase Distractions: As your dog becomes more proficient at recall, slowly introduce distractions and practice in various environments to improve their reliability. ?‍♂️?

Happy Training!
