Dog Obedience - Come When Called Foundation

Weekly schedule

About this program

Does your dog come back happily when you call? Are you getting tired of shouting at your dog to come back? Curious why your dog sometimes ignores your call? Come explore the playful, step-by-step secrets to teaching a recall that gets tails wagging and paws racing back to you! You'll discover why dogs act the way they do and how fun, science-based training builds reliable, enthusiastic recalls. This class is all about fun and learning together! To make the most of it, your dog should already know some basics like focus, sit, down, and stay. Using tasty treats, enthusiastic praise, and playful games—all based on proven scientific methods—you'll help your dog master new skills while having a blast. Eligibility: Dog age: Over 6 months old.
