Ok so I'm practising recall with pup for half an hour on nearby field today and I need;

Collar & lead
Harness and long line
Gloves
Clicker, whistle and treats
HG toy as a reinforcement
Poo bags
Kitchen sink
Suitcase
Sherpa

Seriously it'll be weeks before I go out remembering everything, in fact even writing this now I've probably forgotten something!

What are the gloves for???


Sherpa would be handy, might add that to my list.

I was told you leave the long line trailing on the floor and stand on it when needed and walk along it to retrieve your errant hound! I have used it in this way and it saves your hands.

I used to go out with

Collar & lead
Poo bags
Treats

That was it. My dog is a beautifully behaved pooch who completed his bronze, silver & gold Kennel Club in two years. Hang in there, there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Grin

I ditched the longline in favour of a couple of £5 notes in case I had to contribute toward people's dry cleaning bills.
