How To Achieve Amazing Recall Dog Training 

As much as I wish I had sent my dog to Brandon for training before bringing him home ru-vid.comUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU I am so grateful for this down-to-earth, practical guide. His training techniques and tips really work. Thank you as well for dedicating your life's work to rescue dogs, and to rescuing those of us who want the very best for our 4-legged family members.

I've differentiated "come" and "here." 'Come' is a more general direction, 'this way,' 'back to the group,' command. 'Here' is come to me, touch my hand and allow me to grab your gentle leader or collar. This allows me to be content with a sub-par recall, because I didn't ask for a complete one, and it's not always necessary. And it makes the complete one more reliable because it always ends in the same result.

I have a golden retriever and he never comes when he is called I’m going to try this and thank you. If you ever want to come to Colorado Springs I’ll buy your ticket. I deal with PTSD and I need help. I will keep watching your videos. So thank you so much 🙏

I unknowingly do this with my puppy girl. If she doesn’t come when I say I whistle at her and she actually comes! I’ll have to get an actual whistle now. I always love your videos. This is no exception!

Great video!!! Thank you for posting these videos free of charge! You just don’t know what a blessing you are!!!

Been keen to hear a breakdown of the typical drives for popular breeds and the most effective ways to combat that. Another great video as issues with recall are something i share with others!

Ever since I came across all your videos I gotten my dogs on point!!

Thanks for your vids dude, my dogs recall is on point now days... Changing my recall signal 3 months ago was the best decision I've made that you taught me... So I Thank you,. Huge stress relief when taking my dog out now and letting her off the lead.

Sir I thank you for your videos and in dept explanations. I have a very large bully he's a big teddy bear but my wife was intimidated by his size and felt she might no be able to control him as I do,your videos put her at ease and gave her the confidence to connect to him. Funny how I said a lot of the same things you have said but she trusted your judgement when saying the same thing I was 😄 thanx again

Just love your videos. They are extremely helpful to us. We adopted a 9 mo. old mixed breed dog from our local Humane Society in mid-December. (We're in southeast Florida, USA.) Through DNA testing we discovered that he is a Boxer (55%), German Shepherd (27%), Mastiff (10%), Bulldog (7%). He is very smart and has learned basic commands quickly. This is the next step in our training - the recall. He is a huge dog - over 60 lbs. So very different from the greyhounds, whippets and Italian greyhounds that we have had our entire married life. We will be following your videos as we take him through training for this first year of his life. Thanks for providing such succinct videos. Looking forward to the next one. (By the way we highly recommend DNA testing for mixed breed dogs adopted from Humane Societies. This is our first experience with this process of DNA testing. Besides knowing our new companion's ancestry we know whether he has any genetic markers for specific health issues and have that information for our vet.)

Video was very informative. I have a 2-year-old goldendoodle who struggles with recall when there are distractions. In a quiet setting she is spot on. In a busy setting or if something gets her attention, she doesn't respond at all even with corrections. Even with corrections she is fighting the leash/tension refusing to separate from whatever has her attention. The struggle continues.

I’ve been needing to work on my dog’s recall for a while now. Perfect timing for this video!

It's amazing that you happen to be putting out videos that I just started training on. You seem to be anticipating what I'm working on with my Doberman Axel. Keep up the informative videos they are helping thousands of dogs and owners.

Can I just say I’ve been binging your training videos for only 2 days now after stumbling across you and wow ! Amazing videos! Super informative ! Absolutely LOVE your Chanel ! Extremely helpful for someone getting a pup after almost 11 years of not having one! 💜💜💜💜💜

Another helpful video Will. Always good to have a backup plan, if "come" doesn't work like it should!

So, how is it that you know exactly what we are in need of? We needed this reinforcement today. Thank you

This is fantastic every video ive watched so far has taught me more than 20 other you tube channels combined absolutly fantastic brilliant stuff right here.

Terrific video man most realistic take of recall on youtube, seems this will be incredibly useful

Hey man, what you do is great, makes me want to really take a dog. Keep on sharing please.

Thanks so much for your videos brother, you give me hope for my young rebellious GSD

Thanks Will, very good demonstration of the mechanics of recall :-)

I am a tool. A magical tool. Another great video! Thanks Fenrir Academy! Now I just have to find my husky lol

As I was playing on my Ipad this video with my Dog when he heard the whistle on video . he immediately came to me and lay down 😅

Once again, just a superb video.

Simple, but not obvious in the details. Gréât vidéo.

I love how you cut a slot in your beard for the whistle. Such a good idea!

Thanks for the instructions and video. Love how everything is a *pip pip*, *pop pop* :) the thing I don't hear in videos is, are the dogs walked/exhausted before the training, are they fed or not,... thanks in advance!

Wow I love your videos and training techniques! Do you perhaps have any advice on what I can do to get my Maltipoo to stop backchatting (barking) back at me when I tell her "no"? I'm going to be sat watching your other videos soon. Keep them coming. Thanks, take care 😊

Cannot wait to be able to get the longline slip lead to help our boy

I want that whistle!

I absolutelly adore your videos, definatelly one of the most informative trainers out there. Tools is kind of a probldm here though, would a slip collar work as well as the slip lead?

Great video - well explained.

Can you do a session on the differences when training a small dog? Thanks

Thank you

I would clarify that people should have a formal command, which should only be used when it can be enforced. And an informal one for other times.

Will how do you know when it’s time to move onto step 3

Excellent once again, thanks

Love the videos! wondering if you teach your dogs non verbal commands such as hand gestures or facial expressions etc..? and if so, would you make a video on it if you haven't already?

I have a Saussage Dog, he is very very stubborn. Even with treats he wont come if he doesnt want to. Squeetchie toys kinda work but only for a few minutes to reward him when he comes.

Thank you!

But what happens if you don't have your whistle with you? Or what happens if someone else in the vicinity blows a whistle, or the dog hears a similar sound and rockets off (as conditioned reflex) to go in the direction of the sound?

Any chance you can help me deal with the dreaded fox crap rolling? Makes it so much harder to do positive reinforcement while we are out. At least we are getting pretty good at showers but 🤢

Just a quick one, when is it best to attempt this? After a good walk and their curiosity is gone and they're more comfortable at the dog park?

My new dog is a rescued puppy mill mama, and she's very shy. Coming to me and receiving affection isn't in itself a reward, like it was with the dog you showed here. She's also not food motivated, so I can't really reward her that way either. My hope is that over time she'll be more interested in our affection, but that could take months, and I would really like to begin recall training much sooner if that's possible. Do you have any suggestions?

Congrats on all your effort. Where to buy longline slip lead? Thanks.

Love your videos, what you do and philosophy. I was curious if you ever worked on recall with a Siberian Husky or another breed allegedly infamous for bad recall or must stay leashed.

Really great video, thank you! My problem is that we live in the country in Spain, surrounded by rabbits and foxes. Lots of them. We have a Beagle and a Braco and they just completely lose it when they smell a scent, let alone see one. Last week two foxes popped out of a hedge in front of my wife and she was dragged to the ground by the dogs and had to let go of the leads. Normally, they'll come if called and obey other basic commands but as I said, it all goes to pot when they catch sight of prey. I'm thinking of the electronic correction collar I saw on one of your other videos as our dream is to let them roam free on our walks but we don't dare to at the moment.

I dont know about anyone else but I'm certainly a 'magic tool'!

Love it!

Just started doing this with my border collie puppy should I use treats aswell

Hi there I was wondering as I am going to reconstruct my recall like you said what is your plan B if you forget your whistle and you are out and about? and I’m the dog is of lead

Great video! What type of whistle do you use? I bought a ‘dog whistle’ on eBay but it hardly made a sound haha!

Good video. How do you move to no whistle recall?

Thought you had to charge the whistle before using it I tried this when tried out it was like I wasn't using it . I live in Kent can anyone recommend a good one .

Any recommendations on a stubborn year old Australian Shepard ??

As a side job and a hobbie I walk dogs but I do it one by one. Could you help me get a sense of how to start pack walking, I am a little worried that the dogs might get startled and I won't know what to do. Thanks a lot, I got my job thanks to your videos

Where did you get that cool whistle? Do you sell them?

would you say that golden retriever is a working line or show line?

When will you have the long line in stock again

Shiba owner here...have been following your videos and advice - and have been having great results and training her - she has improved loads - but I have been having a difficult time with praise and positive association? She responds well to food / toys as a reward and playtime, but if it's just praise she will usually look and scuff haha. I would definitely love to see some training with more "difficult breeds" and how to address them correctly. How do we correct off-lead? How do I approach it? I have been in the line between Phase 2 & Phase 3 for awhile now - but she knows when the lead is off and she will listen to the recall 90% of the time but she will ignore it the other 10% what happens in that 10% that she ignores? Do I take her a step back and restart Phase 2 all over?

Great Video, do you sell the long slip lead

ive been doing this with my dog for a year and hes amazing on the long line but as soon as he gets off the lead he bolts and wont come back for hours. he got hit by a van last week. I cannot get him to come when hes got freedom. Hes so distrcted all the time and obsessed with other dogs

Is this a regular whistle or is it a dog whistle??

So I have a question my dog for sure would come running for a whistle but it would get old if the distraction was more important than the sound of the whistle and a good boy or a cookie or even a piece of roast beef so would you use a prong collar or some other kind of collar after he said I’ve heard that so many times I’m done with it thank you very much I’d rather go see a person or chase a dog or a deer and of course he definitely would be on a long line. I am in need of a lot of help

What whistle is best to purchase? Thanks!

Excellent video. My 13-month Lab-Shep pup has suddenly become very bold, cocky, and over-confident. A few months ago, I did try recall training with fifty feet of clothes line; but she just grabbed the line and ran around with it, chewed on it, fought mock battles with it, tangled it all around. That tool just did not work. Maybe that Fenrir long-line slip lead works better than a clothes-line ?

Where can we get a whistle like that?

so how do you do this without the whistle

Heya will...you never see anyone show the correction on an ecollar recall. I have been conditioning my aussie on his dogtra for a few weeks (on long leash and off)..his conditioning level is a 5 and boost is lv10. I tried boost to +10(so 15) he yelped and shut down a little for a few mins.. so I turned the boost down. What would the correction look like or is their a video you can point me towards? I already conditioned the recall (come, continueous nic until command performed, release, praise)and he knows it from well before ecollar training.

How long is your slip lead in this video?

Is that harness a no pull and no escape harness in one??

I love to see you fail with a dog in these vids and see it turn around… when it works first time in the vids it doesn’t feel very achievable

where can i find the whistle?

What if my puppy came back to me when he's leash free, but refuse to get close enough, knowing that I'm about to put him the leash to leave home ? As a wheelchair user, can't really reach him as a normal person do, so I'm depending on his collaboration. As I posted on your Instagram, he's a great 5 months puppy, adopted a month ago ! Since the first days I've decided to let it free of leash on the open fields and he behaved like a champ, never leaving the perimeter, but 3 days ago, started to follow people or dogs and not coming back when I call it, or when it does, he refuses to get closer enough, because he understands I'm about to put the leash on. Neither the most favourite rewards don't makes him comply. Maybe I did something wrong in all this time, that makes it not obey anymore, or he just tasted the freedom to much, to fast ? 😁 Oh...and we did all the good progress in about one week or so Fact is that since I have adopted it, for some reasons he runned away from me, inside the house, while outside we become friends. He didn't even playing with me till last week, while integrating perfect with my family (maybe the wheelchair scared him). I figured out that walking him out, early in the morning, before everyone else does and a lot of patience, bring us closer and did amazing progress in just 2 weeks or so.

I need that long line slip lead do you know when it will be available again?

Trying to train a Tibetan mastiff 😅 Step three may never happen 🥴😅 xxx

What if they come back but really take their time?

i love your accent

Im buying a whistle immediatly

My puppy runs past me when I try this with the long lead, why is that ?

This method works fine on my 1 year old Samoyed. But my 4 year Samsky is in step 2 forever. As soon as he smells boar, deer or rabbit he is gone and never comes back.

Any videos on how to stop a staffy barking at me when i push him down from jumping up me on sofa?

I would like to see how to train 2 dogs to walk on a double leash

Why did your other dogs not come when they heard the whisle?

what would you suggest doing if the dog ignores you even after the correction (which I understand is the slight pulling of the leash)? My 9month old lab is really reactive with other dogs and ignores me on walks the moment she sees a dog. Calling her or lightly pulling her leash for redirection doesn't work at the moment. Even food is not as high of a value as interaction with the other dog.

My puppy loves my long hair - how does he keep puppies away from that beard!

How do you teach a HUSKY to recall?

You aren’t always going to have the whistle on hand though

You spelt "reinforcement" wrong at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b-Be-pV-NaU.html

So great to understand what strings my government are pulling on yours truly.

you should get a vinking bread

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know

I really truly loath ling lines. I do everything i can to keep from having to use them
