Puppy Training Journey #9 The Puppy Recall.
Reliable recall is the single most important skill I teach every puppy, and in my video "The Puppy Recall: Getting Your Puppy to Return to You!", I share exactly how I build this with Ruby from day one. Using my proven approach—starting with high-value rewards, a long lead for controlled freedom, and a gradual transition to longer lines—I ensure recall becomes second nature, not a gamble. By following my step-by-step process, you’ll gain the confidence to let your puppy explore, knowing you can always call them back safely, no matter the distraction.
