Does your dog glance at you with the equivalent of a canine grin and trot off in the other direction when you call him? Don’t feel too badly, some owners might consider you lucky to have a dog that even acknowledges you with a glance! Unfortunately, it is uncommon to see a dog who bounds towards his owner when he has been called, especially when faced with enticing distractions like other dogs. But fear not, because teaching your dog to come when called is really quite easy.

I’ve compiled my very best Recall training knowledge into 5 easy tips. Follow these steps, and your dog will become better at recall – if not near-perfect.

5. Practice using a recall word
