During my walk this morning there were lots of fair weather dog walkers out : I will add I am an all weather walker, I had Hattie, met a friend along the way with her Doberman called Dasha who is Hattie's friend, walked on, I could see a family with 3 dogs about 150 meters infront of me and then I heard the ruck, all dogs including Dasha really barking and not sure if anything else was taking place. Hattie thought she would go and be a nosey parker and began to run off, two peeps on my whistle and she shot back to me and so kept away from trouble. I was pretty proud of her as she loves to have a good play with all dogs, just really glad she didn't this time
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck Well done to Hattie... and a very big well done to you for putting all the work in to make sure that was the response you got! Clare
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck Aw thank you. Clare, not all that much hard work at all, I have only been training her to the whistle since September 2013 and she is 6 years old bless her I wish Charlie would learn half as quickly as Hattie
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck He will ;D The GSP side of him will begin to improve any minute now as in my experience GSPs improve tremendously between age 3 to 4 years old. However, the Lab side may be different, but at least Labs tend to stay much closer ;D
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck Well done Helen and Hattie. ;D Wish mine would learn as quickly as Hattie. Stop whistle is getting very frustrating and know way is our recall anywhere near that good. Maybe one day. :
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck Jen, if it helps Charlie's stop whistle isn't going very well either, he will do it no problem on the drive but beyond that just ignores it. David said he gets a couple at a close distance and that's it. I am wondering if maybe we shouldn't be practising outside the drive just yet :-\ Hattie just seems to get recall and stop whistle and only after a few months, I guess it's the Poodle brain in there with the Labrador. You will get there just like Charlie will one day Keep going Jen. x
Re: Recall from dogs having a ruck hi jen, it tool me about 9 month training the recall ,i was very upset that i could not recall him from other dogs,..i read and re read the total recall.....now i can recall him 99 % from any situation,......stick at it,.....
