    My bullmastiff/American staffy mix (recently turned 2🎉) had a distance recall of about 90% which is nowhere close to what’s needed for a dog to be off leash imo.
    I started playing what I call “random recall”, the basic premise is that no matter where he is when there’s a recall cue, he follows it.
    At first I did it indoors, I wait for him to be distracted or in another room, then bam! Recall.
    On a side note: my expectations for a proper recall is he has to end up where I can grab his collar every time at a minimum, or for more advanced training he ends in a heel or front sit with his chin touching my stomach (we’re still working on the last two).
    Once I have hold of his collar, I treat and release. He loves this game!
    Outdoors: I bought a 30 foot, syntek long line that I wear cross body (I found out the worst way that if it’s pulled out of your hand it feels like your hand has been de-gloved, especially if it’s a cold day/night), I give him some of that length and play the game again, as he’s progressed he’s earnt the right to have more line.
    This simple game literally saved his life.
    We were waiting outside a pharmacy that is on a street that was extremely busy that day for my script to be filled when he started bouncing around on the grass (he’s obsessed with grass!).
    The next second his leash pulled out of my hand and he ran straight into the traffic, I screamed his recall cue (Hades, come!) and he pivoted on the spot, and raced back to me at full speed.
    If he’d reacted in any other way he’d have been killed immediately as his head was just under the wheel well of an off-road caravan (trailer).
    I’m just so blessed that he reacted the way he did because of all the recall drills we’d been doing for the couple of months before this.
    Once he made it back to me I collapsed to the ground, grabbed him tight, and made his leash into a cross body one. I stayed there and ugly cried for a long while.
    I now wear his leash cross body all the time when we’re out near traffic because I couldn’t live through him dying, especially if it was my fault.
    He’s not just a pet, he’s my assistance/service dog in training, and soulmate dog ❤
    Luckily every trainer I know had told me that 90% recall isn’t nearly good enough which prompted me to focus on it so much that it was the main training we did/do.
    After watching some of your podcasts on RUclips, I recently realised that he’s emotionally dysregulated, that is now our current number one priority.
    I’m sorry this is so long but 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Thank you so much for being such an awesome role model and dog training inspiration, not only did you help save my boy’s life, you literally saved mine as well ❤🫶🏼

    My foster Pyr has come and gone. Wow. I started going through the Recaller games, although cheated a bit. Started out with crate games since she needed to go in her crate. WOW. What a team we were. She learned so quickly. We did hot zone which took maybe 10 minutes broken up over a day or two so she learned she was to be in her HZ when I was in the kitchen. We worked on others as well, and she was just so brilliant. These games are just so amazing! Thank you again and again, Susan and your team Recallers!

    If your continuation marker is "good" and they were in a down, you'd be reinforcing the down if they stayed there, I guess if you used your terminal marker, it would be fine if they got up to come receive their reward.
    If they get up when they're supposed to stay in a down, how do you purpose clarifying to them that's the incorrect choice? Do they have a leash on for you to place back in position?

    My break word is “ok”
    Once I was training my dog and I had the “together” command which means he needs to be close to me while we’re walking, then I told him “ok”
    But I didn’t realise he was “preying” on a car, he basically dragged me from the backyard to the front yard, and would’ve dragged me down the street if it wasn’t for my husband lol
    (Yes I can hold him on leash but my dumb ass wasn’t holding the leash properly so it tightened around my fingers and almost broke them)

    I love this and I want so badly to work on these things with my doggo. Last week at an agility fun match outside, he took off after a grasshopper (and ate it) mid-run, and I was not more valuable than that grasshopper. :( I have a strange challenge though that makes working up to location changes more difficult. I have an American Hairless Terrier, who is totally naked. As a result, he doesn't like to sit or down on things like grass, gravel, dirt, etc. It's physically uncomfortable and sometimes painful depending on the surface. As a result, he has a killer standing "wait" and his startline stay and table are both standing, but this does make it hard to find postion changes to do with him for this distance/distraction training that he needs so badly. Inside, we do sit and down as for position changes, but once we leave the house for harder distractions, I don't want to force him to do it. I think it will send the wrong message of "do this thing that hurts when I tell you to."

How would I teach him not to forge out of position when heeling? I did Rally work with him and a class in tricks which seems I also taught him unwanted behaviors as well. I need to a better leader and intentional trainer.

    Hi Susan! I really love your channel so far. I am owner training my 18 month old golden retriever named Freja as an autism spectrum disorder/Asperger’s Syndrome, assistance dog. Freja has had three training classes at Petco. I have been owner training her for a year. I do not have the finances to get Freja professionally trained, so I have to owner train her to keep up with the extensive training. What advice could you give to handlers who their service dogs? I want to train Freja the best way that I can. My Asperger’s syndrome makes it extremely difficult for me to properly train her. I am constantly triggered and have struggled with the communication while I am training her. I am hypersensitive to my environment with overstimulation and sensory issues. I am always looking for new ways to try to train Freja. I work in train with Freja every day. I am always looking for newer and better methods of training. It is a dream of mine to have a service dog to help me.

    I’m guessing your dogs also get thirsty mid games/training
    Do you have to ask them if they’re thirsty and offer water or do they just go randomly?
    My dog shows no interest on me when he’s thirsty and will just go to his bowl randomly and
    I let him because I think he needs to know that if he’s thirsty or hurt no one’s going to force him to do anything
    But what’s your suggestion on this?

    • @tianamarie989
      @tianamarie989 Год назад +1

      If a dog is thirsty they just go get water. They don't forget about drinking water like humans can do. It's instinctual for them. Let them drink. I never ask my dog if they are thirsty. I have two automatic waterers ilon3 inside one outside that replenish as they drink with cold tap water. They drink whenever they need too.

      @LindsayHaven Год назад +1

      Tough to give advice since you didn't list what you have tried. Definitely make sure your dog gets some great stuff for staying in the kennel, not for coming out. And maybe build duration for staying in the kennel before you open the door all the way. Then add a release word and open the door all the way. Slowly start opening the door wider before giving the release word. Your dog will still come up fast (unless you were amazing at making sure she'd rather stay for the goodies you give her in the kennel). But at least you can get her to stay until you release.

    Why go through all of the circus props to stop them from creeping forward. I know, I am a dog trainer of 14 years and I’m aware of the frustrating creep forward irritation. I found by using a mat used for place training (the dog already associates the stay in place routine with the mat), I could take dogs that would stay in place on that mat, give them the down from a distance signal and they that had never done that command before, (providing they already knew the down from a distance signal) were totally successful. Even from the very first time. Try it! It works.
