A Recall That Holds When It Counts Most
Building a Reliable Recall
When your dog doesn't respond to your recall command, when something more exciting gets their attention, you're not seeing a stubborn dog — you're seeing a recall that was never built on enough drive to compete with the distraction. This course builds the kind of enthusiastic, no-hesitation response that holds up when stock is right there and everything in your dog wants to keep working. Works for any breed or discipline.
Start Building Your Recall
What This Course Gives You
A reliable recall means your dog hears the word “come” and turns to you — fast, happy, and without hesitation — regardless of what’s going on around them. This course gives you the tools to make that happen through game-based exercises your dog will actually enjoy, so when you need that recall on stock or in life, it’s already there.
Drive, Not Obedience
You can’t force a dog to want to come to you — especially when stock is right there. These exercises build genuine drive to you so your dog chooses you because coming to you is the best thing happening.
Games That Build Real Skills
Cookie tosses, chase recalls, hide-and-seek, restrained recalls, and more. Each game targets the same goal from a different angle, so your dog stays engaged and the recall gets stronger with every session.
Layered for Success
Every step is designed so your dog succeeds before the next challenge is introduced. You won’t be asking for a recall near stock until the foundation is rock solid — and by then, it’s a non-issue.
A Recall That Holds Under Pressure
This course progressively adds challenges — toys, food, other dogs, stock behind a fence, stock in the same pen — until your dog’s recall is proofed against the real world.
What’s Inside the Course
Module 1 — Building a Foundation for Recall
Start with game-based exercises that build your dog’s drive to get to you as fast as possible. Each one creates enthusiasm and forward motion so that when you add the word “come,” it already means something. You’ll have multiple ways to work on the same skill — because dogs are individuals, and what fires one dog up may not be what motivates another.
Module 2 — Advancing Your Recall
Once your dog is driving to you with commitment, it’s time to raise the bar. Add distractions — toys, food bowls, other dogs — and teach your dog to ignore all of it and come when called. You’ll build gradually so the recall stays strong instead of falling apart.
Module 3 — Recalls Around and With Stock
Take everything you’ve built and put it to the test. Start with stock on the other side of a fence, progress to working in an alleyway with stock on both sides, then move into a pen with stock present. The final exercise introduces a working “that’ll do” — your dog engages with stock, then disengages and comes to you on command.
Why This Course Exists
Dogs don’t want to stop working. Stock is the biggest motivator you can give them — and asking them to leave it and come to you goes against every instinct they have.
That’s exactly why a reliable recall can’t be something you “kind of, sort of” teach. If you skip the layers and jump straight to calling your dog off stock, you’ll end up frustrated, your dog will learn that “come” is optional, and everything gets negative fast.
This course exists because there’s no reason for that struggle — not if you put the steps in.
The exercises here build your dog’s drive to you in so many different ways that by the time you’re calling them off stock, it’s not a battle. They hear the word, they turn, and they come — happy, fast, and fully committed. Not because you made them. Because you built something they want to be part of.
If you’ve already started working stock and your dog locks in and can’t hear you, this is where you back up to. If you’re not there yet, this is how you make sure you never have that problem in the first place.
