Reliable Recall: Fun Games to Bring Your Dog Back

Tired of your dog ignoring you when you call?

Reliable recall is one of the most important skills a dog can have—and one of the hardest to master. Whether your dog is easily distracted, loves to run, or just thinks “come” is optional, this 4-week course will transform their response through fun, engaging games and activities. Forget frustration and chasing—Reliable Recall makes training enjoyable for both you and your dog.

But this course isn’t just about having a dog that comes when called. It’s about creating a deeper connection with your dog so they want to stay close to you on walks. Through playful activities and games, your dog will see you as the most exciting thing around, making walks more fun and enriching for both of you.

The course is held at The Old Potting Shed, Damside House, Johnshaven, Montrose, Scotland DD10 0HY

Why Choose Reliable Recall?

Using positive, game-based techniques, you’ll learn how to:

Build a strong recall response in any environment.
Use games to keep your dog focused and engaged with you, even around distractions.
Make returning to you the most rewarding and fun thing your dog can do.
Strengthen your bond and make walks a source of connection, not stress.

Instead of rigid obedience exercises, we use playful, interactive activities that make learning enjoyable. Every game builds trust, focus, and connection.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a dog who’s excited to come when called and who sees you as their ultimate source of fun.
