Hi all! I’m currently mainly working on a solid recall with my 8 month old cattle dog mix and just finished a 3 week recall training class with him. We were working in a big park on long leash with lots of distractions on “leave it”, building positive association with his name and setting him up...

I saw a video on the kikopup youtube channel about teaching recall with high prey drive dogs. It basically recommended that I do desensitization training so she was no longer distracted by prey in the first place. However, I enjoy letting my dog chase SOMETIMES. Is it possible to train her to...

Hi, thanks for reading. We have an 11 month old un-neutered male dog who is super lovely. He is gentle, tolerant, has no aggression towards anything. He has always been very independent (even the very first night we brought him home at 8 weeks, he just slept happily in his crate alone without...

Hi I have a 5 month old cocker spaniel x labrador and she is a little sweetie - most of the time! usually she is happy playing off the lead, with other dogs and around the field and will come back when called but lately she is running that little bit further away and taking that extra bit...

Hi Can anyone out there give me some good advice? I have got an English setter/cocker spaniel called Bella and she is now nearly 8 months old. She is really energetic and everyone says that she is fussy. I am taking her to dog training classes but I am really struggling with her recall...
