Everyone wants to give their dog off-leash freedom. It’s so fun watching them frolic and play, ears flapping in the wind. But when it’s time for fun to end, many dogs seem to “forget” their name.
So what’s the secret for a reliable recall? A leash.
Stop giving your dog freedom off-leash until you know she’ll come on leash. It’s that easy! Now go practice!
*Obviously there’s a whole lot more work that needs to go into your dog’s training than just keeping them on leash. But a leash is the best way to ensure you don’t lose your dog, and that she’ll come back when you need her to (Because she’s attached to you. There aren’t a whole lot of options for running away when you’re physically connected). If you truly want to work on your off-leash freedom, give us a call. We work on this every day and are ready to help you, too!
