Because we feel the Recall is the most important behvaior you can train your puppy, this lesson is another way to train a fast, reliable recall.
For the Chase Recall Game, the idea is that you have something really fun (food or toy) that you will use to get your puppy excited before you run away from them. {video demonstration}
How fast you run depends on the age/coordination of your puppy.
Again, you get the puppy excited, take off running, once your puppy begins chasing after you then you will want to add your recall cue “Puppy Come!” in order to start pairing the cue with the behavior.
Remember, the better your puppy gets at this game, the harder you can make it! But, make sure to keep the game fun and your training sessions short. Always leave your puppy wanting more!
