Recalls

[Sne]

This is my Ranger doing some backyard recalls - look at him go!

Recall 1 (slightly off cause he was going so fast and missed me)

Recall 2 (better accuracy by being slower)

anyone else with their recalls? or anything else? I though I should separate this from the other obedience thread in here...though I wasn't sure

I wish I had a bigger backyard and could do recalls in mine

Does anyone know how to slow a dog down doing recalls?

my boxer comes in so fast that often he is skidding by the time he gets to me, i usually jump out of the way so he doens't knock me over.

ive tried saying 'slow', telling him to sit before he gets to me and even tried drop mid recall (he isn't trained that well yet) but he doesn't seem to slow down.

one day the ground was wet and if i hadn't opened my legs, he would have crashed into me. as it was he had a very surprised look on his face when he realised that he was behind me lol

any suggestions guys?

thanks in advance

An instrcutor who I really admire told me to slow them down you call out to them to sit when they are a few metres away, it makes themn hesistate and they slow to sit before they knock you over

I tried that today, and now i must say i've never had such a sore butt before lmao

he came in straight and fast, i said sit when he was about 15 feet away, his bottom sank and then he crashed into me. i'd braced myself just in case, but obviously not enough ! lmao

we're still working on it though.

on another note, same dog, his swelling has gone and the bites are almost impossible to find! hence the training!

[shoemonster]

Great start though! Only a few more bum bruisers and he'll get there! :D

Good to hear about the brusing and bites

Could you try facing side on at the last moment as he races in, then he will miss you, or you could try holding out a piece of food in front, or a toy. Or teach drop on recall, then the dog gets confused and comes in slowly.

I might try the side on, if he see's me move, he'll watch rather than just bolt hopefully. i'll give it a shot today.

update on the bites, a little red dot where he was stung and thats it!!!!! gotta continue with the cream for another 2 days according to my vet, but he's doing really well!
