Recall Jumpstart Workshop
Stop wondering if your dog will come back. Start building a recall you can trust.
Join a one-hour outdoor workshop where you'll learn the games, mechanics, and training patterns that create a stronger recall.
What This Workshop IsMost dogs aren't ignoring us on purpose, they simply haven't practiced coming back under distraction.
In this one-hour workshop you'll learn the games, mechanics, and training patterns that help dogs choose to return to their humans, even when the environment gets interesting.
One Hour Recall Skill Building WorkshopWhat You’ll Learn
Long‑Line Handling. Safe, simple mechanics for managing a long line outdoors.
Cue & Marker Meaning. A quick exercise that teaches your dog what your recall cues and markers actually mean.
Return‑to‑Handler Game. Teaches your dog that returning to you is the most fun part of the exercise.
Movement‑Based Recalls. Use your own motion to boost engagement and strengthen your dog’s return.
Adding the Recall Cue. We add the cue only once your dog is turning and running back with speed.
What to bring.
-
Working in new environments can be challenging for some dogs. So bring the good stuff—whatever your dog truly likes!
-
All dogs stay leashed for safety. A 15‑ft line gives your dog room to move without crowding other teams. If yours is longer, just tie it off.
-
We’ll be moving, and your dog will be doing short bursts of running. Bring water so everyone stays hydrated — we’ll take breaks.
-
We’ll be on the move, so wear something you can walk, jog, and pivot in comfortably.
This workshop is great for:
puppies
teens
adult dogs
distracted dogs
dogs who come when called…sometimes
dogs who need a confidence boost outdoors
It’s not ideal for dogs who are reactive toward other dogs — reach out and I’ll help you choose a better starting point.
Is this class right for my dog?
What You'll Leave With
By the end of the workshop, you'll have:
A practical recall training plan you can continue at home
Recall games that make coming back to you fun and rewarding
Better long-line skills for safe outdoor practice
A take-home guide so you know exactly what to work on next
More confidence helping your dog succeed around real-life distractions
Please note: This workshop introduces the foundation of recall training. Building a reliable recall takes practice, consistency, and time.
Let’s build a better recall.
