Our dog is just over a year now and recall still isn’t brilliant. He’s a poodle and since he was little he has been so keen on other dogs. We’ve tried classes where he has been around other dogs and the classes have been pointless as he’s so mad on other dogs.
We’ve used a whistle and a clicker but the interest in other dogs seems to override his interest in us. We’ve had special toys for just recall and also super treats like cheese, meat etc which at home he’d gobble up.
We’ve resorted to keeping him on a long line because of this. Just feeling a bit of a failure. Coming at home he’s fairly good at and he started well off lead when he was smaller but then it all went to pieces. He sees another dog and he’s off.
