Recall/Chasing

[ See more behaviour problems ]

The Problem

Dpgs chasing or not coming back when called can be a big problem, and one experienced by many dog owners at one time or another.

The Solution

  • Teach "Come!" or "Here!"
    It is important that your dog is taught a recall command such as "Come!" or "Here!". This then needs to be practised regularly in environments which become more and more distracting.
  • Reward with treats
    Rewarding with treats when your dog does come back is a great way to make him realise that coming back is good.
  • Make life fun
    Toys are also a good way of getting them to want to be around you.
  • Clicker training
    Clicker training is yet another way of teaching your dog to come on command.
  • Break the pattern
    When walking your dog, practise calling him at different points so that he will learn to come back regardless of location or time.
  • Don't punish!
    It is vital that you don't punish your dog when he returns because he will be less inclined to come back the next time.
  • Use distraction
    Remote spray training collars can be a very successful way of resolving more serious recall problems, in particular when sheep or other animals are involved.

    A well-timed spray can be just the thing to distract your dog from the chase (in ranges of up to five metres, a Pet Corrector can be used instead of the Masterplus Pro Remote Training Collar).
