Deep dives
Understanding Recall Failures
Recalls can fail for various reasons, with one of the primary issues being the rehearsal of undesirable behaviors during a dog's formative stages. Dogs that are allowed to chase after distractions, such as squirrels or other animals, end up reinforcing behaviors that can undermine recall training. This problem is compounded when owners do not recognize these rehearsals as detrimental to developing a strong recall. Effective recall training begins when dogs are prevented from rehearsing these negative behaviors, especially during their puppy years.
