When The Recall Fails. Teaching a prey driven dog to recall. Part 4

Our Lurcher was just like this a year ago, recall was good but certainly not perfect, if she saw something or got over stimulated she would just run, sometimes 1/2 a mile. Then I started to train with an ecoller. It took about 5/6 weeks to get her to fully understand what that stim meant but now she is perfect, she has complete freedom on a walk off lead and I have peace of mind, Thanks Jamie.

This must work on humans too because I'm smiling and wanting to run up to you when you shout "YEAH" 😂

If someone can think in algorythms, it is easy to understand why hesitance at recall is failure. Learning to think in the moment is a must to understand these concepts. Add realistic expectations on top of all that. If you understand the depth of all this, you can start to really appreciate people who can actually do this right. See how and why this is bloody beautiful.

Really enjoying the recall playlist series. Our 6month working line lab used to recall great both inside, garden and in a field however at 5months he started to hesitate and get his nose down and ignore the recall whistle, regardless of how positively engaging i was being. Started to go back to basics with a long line so these videos have come at a great time for us. Thank you.

THIS IS EXACTLY MY ISSUE!!! Especially if his back is turned and I give a verbal recall, 75% of the time I have to resort to a reminder on his ecollar. ITS SO GOOD TO SEE A MAN BRIMMING WITH PASSION FOR HELPING DOGS😍

Beautifully explained, layers and layers of knowledge behind each action. Beautiful to watch too. It was a game changer with ecollar training when I raised the bar on training for an immediate recall. Always had issues battling his prey drive.

I just began binge-watching the series and I know already that you are answering questions that I hadn't thought of. THANK YOU.

Excellent videos Jamie, thank you so very much for sharing your brilliant knowledge and understanding of dogs

Thank you for showing this whole process, and explaining to many nay sayers the reason its dangerous to accept a recall that is the dog recalling but when the dog has pushed the boundaries.. We don't need to leave much to the imagination to know what is likely to happen if owners accept the pushy recall 😞. The dog will switch off and be gone. Respect to you Jamie 👍🙌🐾

Nice rainbow! 🌈

Very useful video - thanks for posting.

Love it, love your approach to dog training, exactly the same as mine

Both my dogs have a high prey drive and we live semi rural so loads of those pesky pheasants, rabbits, muntjac deer and badgers. My boy dog is worse with his prey drive than my girl. He always comes back but he does often vanish out of sight and there is always the worry he crosses a road and gets hurt. I think I'm going to try to be more enthusiastic calling my dog back. Usually I just call him and compared to you I can see how boring I sound to come back to, versus chasing prey. I've not resorted to an E collar yet but maybe I should

brilliant .... exactly like my dog. recall is great until the prey moves. never be complacent.

Thank you! I’m training my dog with an online course and it’s amazing. My dog has some of those hesitations. She amazing except for some of those and wondering how to train with e collar. Want to keep our connection and off leash fun! I live in Montana and work on a ranch and a long line is unrealistic.

Great videos Jamie, thanks. With regards to electric collars aren't these seen as in humane? What brand do you use? Also what bloody treats are you giving the dog? Mine gets bored and starts to ignore them? Thanks Keith

bring on ep 5 🐶

Totally understand....that split second....could be life and death for the dog...or as you said..anything else around....mate,your without a doubt the best dog trainer I have seen on here.....I only wish...7 years ago,I could have followed these for my lurcher "molly"...her recall of "wait"...is pretty good....but had a bad experience,this morning...in the park....should just say...molly doesnt like loud noises....kids screaming,football being bounced or shotgun...bird scarer....10 o,clock....of the lead....as usual....then the church bells starts ringing(this hasn't happened before)....she bolted,no warning,the park is just off a main road,I live 200 yards,on the main road....well thought she was going to get git by a car....and thankfully,she ran straight back to the front door.....where as luck would have it,a neighbour recognised her,and held onto her harness.....I'm 54,and couldnt catch up to her from the middle of the park.....usual,if she gets spooked,I shout wait....9 times out of ten ,she does.....really shook me up....any advice?

Hi Jamies, When she failed the recall, what did you do in terms of correction? Or was it a case of trying again until she got it?

I have one of mine that if in the moment of prey drive I tried to do a recall I know I'm going to fail because it's just not going to happen and so I don't recall during prey drive with her so that I don't have those fails! At least until we fix it. This particular dog is the most instinctually driven dog that I own and in general I've always had good recall with all my dogs but this one's a challenge. If I'm being honest, it's more about me getting motivated to fix than it is about the dog.
