Reliable Recall

Recall Training in Aberdeenshire

Struggling with dog recall training in Aberdeenshire, Montrose, Johnshaven, Stonehaven, St Cyrus, Laurencekirk, Gourdon, or Marykirk? My 4-week Reliable Recall course is designed to help you transform your dog’s recall using fun, reward-based games—without the stress of shouting their name while they run off!

This is real-life recall training, taught in an outdoor setting with natural distractions, ensuring your dog learns to come back no matter what’s going on around them. Whether your dog is easily distracted, ignores you at the park, or thinks recall is optional, this course will show you how to make coming back the best choice for your dog.

Each course is limited to just 3 dogs, ensuring personalised coaching and hands-on guidance throughout the course.

What We Cover

With five fun recall-boosting games, you’ll teach your dog to stay close, listen attentively, and see YOU as the most exciting thing in their world.

🎯 Sausage Tree – Dogs’ natural foraging behaviour to reinforce your dog’s recall.

🎯 Middle – Teach your dog to come in nice and close so you can easily attach the lead.

🎯 The Boomerang Game – Making running back to you just as fun as running away.

🎯 Let’s Party – Make every recall into a party.

🎯Race to Base  – A fun game to teach your dog to come rushing back.

By the end of this course, your dog won’t just come back—they’ll stay close because they WANT to be with you.

This dog recall training ensures your dog responds quickly and reliably in any situation.

Why My Recall Course Works

Most recall training fails because it relies on drill-based obedience rather than teaching your dog that coming back is always the best option.

No More Ignoring You – Your dog will WANT to come back when called.

No More Frustration – Stop feeling embarrassed when your dog runs off!

Real-Life Training – No sterile hall environments—just real-world distractions.

Small Class Sizes – Just 3 dogs per class for personalised training.

Support Beyond Class – Access to videos, handouts, and WhatsApp help.
