[NAGDU] off leash recall

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi Richard. My retired guide is like this too. She's very selective about her recall and comes when she feels like it. Lol What I do when I practice it with her is I put her on a sit stay. And I walk away a few stops. I have the kibble in my pocket well hidden I don't give her the kibble until she comes and does a touch. That means she touches my fist with her nose. Then she gets the kibble. I think the key though for us is having her do that sit stay until asking her to come. Do this a few times. Gradually walk further and further away from her. Keep the sessions short Hope this helps.
