Why GPS tracking isn’t enough to fix dog recall problems
Like you KNOW they hear you. They even look at you sometimes. And then… nothing. Just goes right back to sniffing the ground like you didn’t just call them three times 😭

What techniques work best for teaching a dog to drop items on command?
Teaching my dog to drop items on command was trickier than I expected at first, but once I found the right approach, it became much smoother. I quickly realized that patience and consistency were key. Instead of scolding him when he refused, I focused on making the process positive and rewarding. Using treats and praise worked wonders, turning the “drop it” command into something he actually wanted to do.

This huge #newfoundlanddog pulls, dominates other dogs and has little #recalltraining but today he walked like a lamb! He’s also entire!

Monty the #cockerspanielpuppy has a very high prey drive which makes #recalltraining hard and also means that poor Woody, the cat also gets chased! One #privatedogtraining session is usually enough to sort out cat and dog introductions however. #catanddogfriends #121dogtraining #kentdogtraining (at Grays Thurrock, Thurrock, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaumWRhzIL/?igshid=1poij0i0xtbaw

The new podcast episode will have you drooling! Yep, you are soooooo gonna want to train this behavior and special guest Henrik Futtrup of the Copenhagen Zoo is kind enough to share all the details. Plus there are 6 video clips on the podcast episode page! What is your dream behavior to train? I have a feeling for many bird keepers it just might be this one! Imagine having a mixed species aviary in which each flock of birds recalls to a different sound and shifts into their own holding area. This dream is reality for Henrik Futtrup a keeper and trainer at the Copenhagen Zoo. In this podcast he not only shares the steps he took to train the behavior but also important details about antecedent arrangement, species specific considerations and how this behavior really paid off in an emergency. And in truth, this concept can be applied to any mixed species habitats…not just birds. I also answer one of your questions about how to train quick response to the cue when training for recall…. especially when there are lots of distractions.
