Training recall in dogs: Everything you need to know for teaching a reliable recall

Dog running off over the horizon showing no recall training.

Training recall in dogs is one of the most important obedience exercises you can teach your fur friend. How else would you get their leash back on in a public space? Or keep them, and other people, safe should they ever be stuck in a dangerous situation?  

Teaching a reliable recall is one thing most dog parents strive for, but it's a trick that's not always easy to master. The good news is that every dog — stubborn ones included — can learn the art of a dependable recall. It just takes a whole load of patience, a (big) pocketful of the best dog treats and the best dog toys to help entice them to 'come' to you in the first place, and reward them richly once they do.
