About this class:

Our main focus will be on developing a strong drive for coming back to you when called. Throughout the 3-week series, we will practice various skills and engaging activities that promote a quick and reliable response from your canine companion.

However, it's important to note that the mini class serves as a continuation of the foundation for building recall skills and does not guarantee absolute off-leash reliability after its completion. To ensure long-term success, we strongly recommend continuing the practice of these newly acquired skills in different environments around a variety of distractions.

The mini-class is thoughtfully designed to help you foster the drive and willingness in your dog to return promptly when called. We understand the significance of gradual progression, and that's why we suggest further training and practice beyond the series before attempting off-leash recall in challenging situations.

By being consistent in your training efforts and reinforcing the recall behavior in various contexts, you'll set the stage for a stronger and more dependable recall response from your beloved canine companion. We're excited to embark on this journey with you and your furry friend, setting the groundwork for a more harmonious and reliable relationship.
