Hiya, I am up to the part in total recall where I recall in the same room. Amy hasn't come just to the whistle yet without encouragement from me. It's been two days, is it ok to keep with the encouragement or should I go back a section in the book?
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question Ok. So I am trying in the kitchen but she runs into her bed, not too me! And today wouldn't even come out again for the treat.
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question Hmm....not coming for a sardine? Is she well? Seriously though, I wonder have you used sardines at all to entice her to do something she didn't want? Will she recall whistle torher food bowl? Only other thing is doing the recall when she is hungry I.e. before meals, or miss breakfast out until after training. BUT do remember recall ain't our strong point ;D
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question recall is the hardest thing i have ever trained, it took me well over 6 month to get it to near perfect now it is a pleasure to go out on off lead walks,.........stick with it jade, be very consistent,.......i never stop training the recall, its the most important thing you will ever train amy the total recall is an amazing book, i had to read it over and over
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question I have changed rooms (hope it doesn't mess it up) and she has flown to me both times!
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question no changing rooms wont mess it up,....stick with it jade, its hard work, it will be well worth it,.....i could recall jasper from any thing , the hardest thing was recall from another dog , i used to be in tears when i saw another dog knowing he would leg it over to them,.......keep at it the hard work WILL pay off
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question You are motoring Jade,good work,keep with it,it really works and makes you feel so much more confident...not to mention like the Best Dog Trainer In The World when you meet people out on walks Thankyou Pippa x
Re: Whistle Recall in same room question We are on room to room now, however she is following me every where so never get the chance! ;D

Re: Whistle Recall in same room question We solved this by having him recall between two people - it came back to bite me though! I have one friend who was always willing to be my second recall person. One day, we were walking together, and she left me and Charlie on a beach - she was going to walk up a big hill further along the coast to a day mark. After she left, I recalled Charlie from the end of the beach, he came, then ran off to my friend! She had walked quite far away at that point! He got to her, then immediately turned round and came back to me. Nuts...we make sure to vary the recall routine now!
