The Importance of Reliable Recall Training

Teaching a reliable recall is crucial for a dog's safety, as it can potentially save their life. Various situations can lead to a dog escaping, such as an open gate or a loose collar, turning the situation into a desperate chase. Without proper recall training, the instinctive response to call the dog may create anxiety, prompting the dog to run away instead of coming back. Therefore, establishing a solid recall strategy is essential for responsible dog ownership and preventing dangerous escapes.
