Re: Why has my recall broken down? [quote author=charlie link=topic=4849.msg60520#msg60520 date=1394665170] When Lilly is coming back from and 'adventure' do you reinforce the recall whistle as she heads towards you but only if you haven't already blown it? [/quote] Only if I am 100% certain she is coming back - she might still get "diverted" by another scent. [quote author=charlie link=topic=4849.msg60520#msg60520 date=1394665170] Could you drag your OH and Sophie out for games in the woods at the weekends to help with her recall? [/quote] Sophie probably, OH not a chance. Unfortunately Sophie works most Sundays at the moment, and my upcoming week off I will have ball-obsessed-give-it-me-now-chuck-it-go-on-now-now company ;D Think we might need some separate walks.
Re: Why has my recall broken down? Rachael, that's a great idea to use the fleece tug rope, we have one of those and Charlie loves it, I am going to try that but it does involve more running . Thanks x

[/quote] Don't you just hate those ball obsessed dogs ;D Could you rope a friend in to walk with you and Lilly to do ridiculous hiding games? I can't tell you how much this has helped Charlie since going to Hamble Hounds. x
Re: Why has my recall broken down? Helen she does like playing hide and seek in the woods. Sophie is best at it. Even if she is not on our walk she will go looking for her behind bushes and trees if I say "where's Sophie?" (Oops I know that would be mean though )
