POP UP TALK: Recall in the Real World
ABOUT THE EVENT:
Recall is one of the most important skills we ask of our dogs — and one of the hardest to maintain when real-life distractions enter the picture.
Your dog may come running at home, but trails, wildlife, other dogs, smells, and open space can quickly change the equation. Reliable recall is not just about obedience. It starts with engagement, trust, reinforcement, and setting your dog up to succeed.
In this Pop Up Talk, June Featured Expert and Professional Dog Trainer Jake Belmont of Red Pointy Dog Training will explore why recall breaks down in real-world settings and how to improve it without pressure or unrealistic expectations.
During the session, Jake will cover:
- Why dogs struggle with recall in distracting environments
- How to build attention and check-ins before asking your dog to come
- Better reinforcement strategies, including treats, movement, play, and freedom
- How to adjust expectations as distractions increase
- Why meeting your dog where they are builds trust and success
You’ll leave with simple, actionable takeaways you can start using right away on walks, hikes, and everyday adventures.
