STEPS to a REALLY RELIABLE RECALL class - June 2012

STEPS to a REALLY RELIABLE RECALL class - June 2012


The inaugural course had two full classes of 4 partners ... dog and owners! Each evening we learned different skills, played some games, learned the subtle ways to use our bodies, mixed up rewards and by the end every dog was happy to come running to their owner when they heard the recall cue - even with nearby distractions! Way to go everyone!

 "MAPLE" come!



"RORY" come!



 "DAISY" come!



 "ZEPHYR" come!



 "BENNY" come!



 "Griffin" come!



 "DESTINY" wasn't at the flying come recall photo shoot ...



 

"KONA" missed the last night class so no rocket racing recall photo of her either...



Even with all the distractions you all managed to get your dogs to come running to you!

Congratulations on the great job you all did with your dogs! You all did a great job learning the new skills! And ... for all your efforts you get a graduation certificate and a special box of Auntie Kim's Better Bickies! Thank you so much to Auntie Kim for the special packages you put together for our training class students on graduation night! The dogs no doubt think they are lip licking, tail wagging scrumptious!

Another Really Reliable Recall Class will be held soon! 

Dogs that join us on our weekday dog walking field trips are taught to come running to an emergency whistle signal too. 

Check out our website for info on our dog walks and on upcoming classes! Our new website is expected to launch July or August!

Graduates of STEP ONE Training Foundation Class!

Graduates of STEP ONE Training Foundation Class!


June's STEP ONE class had a full class of 4 dog and owner teams! They were all very different personalities from each other! All of them made some great strides in their training!

Guess which one was intense and focused? Guess which one was keen and always ready to learn? Guess which one had amazing focus? Guess which one was amazing at rocket recalls? Guess.....

Great work Chloe, Zephyr, Minni and Destiny and your people too!

Two of you are signed up for June's Really Reliable Racing Rocket Recall Class! I can't wait!
