    Hi, we are working with our 10month lab through the total recall training. I’m just moving from pre-recall for older dogs on to basic recall so still have a little time before proofing with people but just had some questions re what to do if we reach that point and cannot have visitors.

    there are myself and husband living in our house with our 13, 11 and 9 year old children. The eldest can be very sensible and wouldn’t appear to our lab as an excited child. We also have my dad in our bubble but when he visits he has his cocker spaniel with him too. One of the adults could distract her easily by playing outside though. My question is can we still do that part with limited visitors at home. Can it be me and my husband and then me and dad or daughter? Or should it be more unfamiliar people which obviously we can’t do at the moment?

    thanks so much in advance. We are finding the exercises really good at going over the recall that we probably let slip before.

    I should add we are I the UK and current lockdown means we cannot have anyone in our house outside of our support bubble. (Our family of 5 and then my dad) thanks
