Reliable Recall

Having a dog that comes back when you call isn’t just a nice bonus—it’s the key to freedom, safety, and peace of mind. But if your dog only listens when they feel like it, disappears into the distance, or ignores you around distractions… you’re not alone.

The Reliable Recall course is here to change that. No shouting, chasing, or hoping for the best—just fun, effective training that fits into real life.

We use simple, game-based exercises to build focus, connection, and responsiveness, even when the world is full of exciting smells and squirrels. It’s all about turning recall into a habit your dog wants to do—and I’ll be with you every step of the way to make it happen.

What we cover:

This isn’t about shouting, chasing, or endless recall drills — it’s about playing fun, engaging games that teach your dog to want to come back to you, no matter what’s going on around them.

Through four core games — Boomerang, Middle, Let’s Party, and Race to Base — your dog will learn how to:

• Respond quickly and happily when called
• Stay focused on you, even with distractions
• Build confidence and trust outdoors
• See coming back as the best part of their day

We’ll also cover real-life scenarios like what to do when your dog spots a squirrel, how to avoid the dreaded “I’m busy” look, and how to build solid habits that last beyond the training session.

It’s all designed to give you a recall that actually works — while making training fun for both of you.

Snuffle Spot for Dogs with Recall Struggles

If recall feels impossible right now—or your dog finds walks stressful, overwhelming, or just far too exciting—Snuffle Spot is a gentle place to begin.

It’s a private indoor enrichment space where your dog can sniff, explore, and relax at their own pace, without any pressure or other dogs around. No off-lead chaos, no distractions—just a calm, secure environment where you can both breathe.

While your dog unwinds, you’ll have the chance to chat with me, ask questions, and talk through what’s going on. Whether you’re thinking about joining a class or need some guidance on where to start, Snuffle Spot is the perfect low-stress way to take that first step.

Laura specialises in customising activities for dogs with restricted exercise and supporting owners through this challenge. Her mission is to ensure these dogs remain calm and content despite limited daily exercise, fostering enduring bonds between them and their owners through compassionate training methods.
