Recall to Place

Continuing Our Recall Games Series:

You've taught your dog place. Remember the only way off place is Come! or to release them.

Now, get 2 mats. The 2nd one can be any object. A bath mat, the dog bed, another cot -- it really doesn't matter.

Put your dog on place. You go stand behind the other mat -- and call them to Come! As they get there put them on place again. If you need a leash, use it, but hopefully, you can get to the point of no leash for this game. Remember -- don't let them fail so use the leash as needed.

After a day or so of Recall to Place -- Move yourself to a neutral position. Recall the dog to you -- and expect them to sit/stay.

Alternate between Recall to Place and Recall to Sit.

Now your dog has to start thinking about the difference in commands place vs. sit/stay (or down stay) while you get in many more repetitions of recall.

Begin to incorporate this into your overall training exercises - indoors and out.

It starts to be more fun for you both.

Continue to pay your dog for recall.
