Did a lot of yard work this weekend.
Not my most favorite thing to do in the world, but the yard is kind of a mess.
Yard work always gives you time to think about things. This weekend I was thinking about the movie, “Total Recall.”
Total Recall is an Arnold Schwarnegger movie about a guy trying to remember his past.
I love the title and thought about how dogs need to develop a “Total Recall.”
The recall, or come when called command, is the MOST important command you can teach your dog.
Dogs that come when called have a much better life and knowing this one command can save your dog’s life.
That is the reason you need to check out this website I put together for you and your dog.
I pulled out ALL the stops and teach you with step by step videos how to teach this important command.

Today is a great day to start teaching your dog the recall command.
All the best,

“Keep It Simple Stupid” is a very common saying, BUT…
I am a positive trainer so I would never call you stupid. Instead I decided to change it to Student because what I am going to teach you in today’s post is going to be very valuable now that you are on the path to teaching your dog to come when called.
Sound good Grasshopper?
Excellent.
If there is one thing that the human race likes to do it is to WAY Over-complicate things.
I recently did some work for an organization that would try to solve every problem by developing complicated systems that no one would follow but made management feel like they accomplished something – ugh!
A few weeks ago I read a great book, “Mastering The Rockefeller Habits.” My big takeaway from the book was how he simplified everything and it really was a key to his giant success.
Teaching come when called really works best when you follow a few simple steps. Let me share a few simple steps that will improve your dog’s recall command:
Fun - The best, most simple advice I could give is to KEEP IT FUN. Canine’s are very playful creatures and the more fun you make your recall training sessions, the more successful you’ll be.
In order to keep it fun, you’ll have to include some games. Which leads me to…
Games - There are some simple, fun games that will greatly improve the recall command. One great game is hide n seek. This can be played inside or outside. If you do this outside, make sure it is done in a safe place.
Set Up For Success - A common mistake is when the owner calls their dog and she does not respond to the command. The owner gets frustrated and repeats the command over and over. This will result in a dog learning to ignore the command “Come.”
It is much better to start by practicing in the house where you know your pup is going to come to you. Practice teaching this command where there are not many distractions.
As your dog learns to respond to this command, you can introduce more difficult situations.
Reward - I read an interesting article about the way video game developers create the games in a way that gets you addicted to playing them.
They use the principles that are based around the work of B.F. Skinner who discovered you could control behavior by training subjects with simple stimulus and reward.
Behavior is reward driven. Reward for coming when called and you’ll be amazed at how fast your dog can learn this extremely important command.
