Recall Intensive is a four-week intensive program focused on improving your dog's everyday recall (coming back to you when called).
This specialised program aims to improve your dog's ability to disconnect from what is happening in the environment, return to you with enthusiasm, and allow you to take hold of their collar and attach their lead. Using games, activities, and positive reinforcement (treats and toys), you will learn the behaviours needed for a reliable recall.
Your dog must have completed a Basics course with us, or you must be able to provide evidence that they have completed a beginner’s/basics level course with another provider.
