    Hello, I have a 4 year old golden lab, we rehomed him when he was 2, he was very well trained but his recall is awful.....does anyone have any tips for this? Thanks, Michelle

    Hello and welcome to the forum. I'd recommend getting the book Total Recall. It's a complete program to work through teaching a recall to a dog that's never had one, or fixing a "broken" one. It takes you through, step by step, and shows you how to train it against distractions.

    Welcome Michelle from me, Hattie 9 years and our rescue boy Charlie 6 years. I can highly recomment Pippa's Total Recall, it worked for our Charlie who was an absconder and had ZERO recall when we rescued him at 9 months. If it worked for Charlie it can work for any dog believe me :) x

    Another vote for Total Recall. It worked wonders for Coco, who came to us at 16 months.

    Total Recall here too!
    You won't regret it.
    Really well written, easy to follow, and pretty compact and concise.
    Perfect!
