CLOSE CALLS

Some of our scariest and most frustrating moments occur when our recall cue fails with our dog in a potentially dangerous situation. 

It can be tough to translate success in training into great recalls in real life.

True or False

1) It's best to stand near your dog and move towards them as you're calling them.

2) Don't use your dog's name when you call them, because if they hear it too often they are more likely to ignore you.

3) Only call your dog when you really need them to come, so they will understand the importance of the cue.

4) Always be clearly visible to your dog when you call them.

Congratulations for taking the test!

* All are false in general terms, but keep in mind that every dog is an individual, and that every dog has different relationships with their human companions!
