Really Reliable Recall
Workshop
How to get your dog coming back when you call – even around distractions
27th June and 4th of July 2026
Does your dog ignore you when you call?
Dodge away from you so that you can’t catch them?
Or bolt into the distance the moment you un-clip the lead?
Does a really reliable recall feel like an unattainable dream right now?
Let’s change that! Off leash reliability IS POSSIBLE for your dog!

Cinnamon had the best recall session with Frances after some practice of getting her to come and ignore others. Continued practise and the hands on learning with Frances on Saturday was such fun!

Murphy is an excitable young fella who at around 12 months pretty much turned his ears off at the beach. Today was his first walk at the beach off lead. I can stop and chat to people and he’ll stay in the vicinity and always wanders back. Thank you!
