Recall Training
Teaching your dog to come when called—every time
Recall training is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog. A strong recall means your dog will reliably return to you when called, giving them the freedom to explore safely while giving you peace of mind. At Calmer K9s, our recall training is designed to be both engaging and effective, ensuring your dog listens to you even in distracting environments.
Why Recall Training is Essential
A reliable recall is crucial for safety and control, especially when off-lead. It allows your dog to enjoy freedom while maintaining a safe level of control in busy parks, open spaces, or around other animals. Good recall also builds trust between you and your dog, creating a more cooperative relationship.
Our Approach to Recall Training
At Calmer K9s, we use positive reinforcement techniques to make coming back to you the most rewarding option for your dog. Each recall session is adapted to your dog’s personality and learning pace, ensuring they progress steadily and with confidence. We work with both puppies and adult dogs, addressing any specific recall issues or behaviours. Our recall training includes:
- Focus and Engagement – Teaching your dog to stay attentive to you, even with distractions around
- Reward-Based Learning – Using treats, toys, and praise to make coming back enjoyable and rewarding
- Gradual Exposure to Distractions – Practising recall in various settings, gradually introducing new distractions
- Emergency Recall Training – Developing a reliable command that your dog will respond to in urgent situations
Benefits of Recall Training

- Enjoy Off-Lead Freedom – Confidently let your dog explore in safe spaces, knowing they will return when called
- Ensure Safety – Prevent accidents by quickly calling your dog back in unpredictable situations
