JACKALS & WILD DOGS!! 🐺🐕 We're into our FINAL SKILL of the Spring Challenge, and this one's a big one! 💪🏻 First up, a MASSIVE congratulations to @Kerrie-anne Gallagher & Emmet for taking out Skill 5: Loose Leash Walking Part 2! 🏆👏🏻 What an awesome effort! In today's coaching live, we talked all things RECALL, and more importantly, how we build a dog that actually WANTS to come back to us! Here's what we covered: 🐾 LONG LINES SAVE LIVES! Safety first, always. Until that recall is reliable, keep your dog on a long line and set them up for success. 🐾 HOLD YOUR DISTANCE THRESHOLDS! Don't rush to add distance. Build reliability at each stage before making things harder. 🐾 ENGAGEMENT IS EVERYTHING! Keep your value high! Sometimes that means running backwards, getting excited, making ridiculous noises and looking like an absolute idiot in public. 😂 Who cares?! We want our dogs thinking we're the BEST thing in their world! 🐾 ALWAYS REWARD THE RECALL FIRST! Your dog has made the decision to come back to you. Celebrate that BEFORE asking them to sit, heel or do anything else. Remember, recall isn't just about teaching a command. It's about building a relationship where your dog chooses YOU over everything else going on around them. 🤍 We're so bloody proud of the work you guys have put in over these six weeks. The progress, encouragement and support across both packs has been incredible! 🎥 Catch the replay below, get out there with your long lines and let's see those recalls! 👇🏻 Drop your biggest recall challenge in the comments. What's the one thing your dog finds harder to come away from? LET'S FINISH STRONG, JACKALS & WILD DOGS!! 🔥💪🏻

Hello! Can anyone recommend a good harness/leash for car travel. Just recently we've noticed our dog barking and trying to lunge (reactiveness) in the car at absolutely anything that moves - aside from other cars. Its usually on the way to/from something exciting so I'm sure he's 'working' or over threshold due to excitement but its becoming unbearable 😟

We jumped straight into yesterday with Marlo’s recall! I am still so nervous to let go of the lead so that will be our next step this week… Quite a few of his triggers out yesterday while filming. Lots of cars going past in the background, a few birds flying above in the trees and some moths about too 😂 He did so well resisting all of them and was locked in on me! I added a bit more distraction at the end of the video with me acting a fool and running/ jumping around and he passed the test 🥳 Apologies for the longer video haha. Go Wild Dogs! Final week!!

SIX WEEKS. SIX SKILLS. TWO PACKS. ONE HELL OF A CHALLENGE! 🐕🐺 Here we are, legends… SKILL 6: INTRO TO RECALL is officially LIVE in the classroom! 🙌🏻 And we've saved one of the BEST for last! For the past five weeks, you've been building engagement, communication, impulse control and trust with your dogs. Now it's time to bring it ALL together and introduce some FREEDOM! 💪🏻 This week we're teaching our dogs that coming back to us isn't the end of the fun… it's the BEST part! Because great recall isn't about control. It's about building a relationship where your dog CHOOSES you, even when the world around them is more exciting. And THAT is what this entire challenge has been building towards. ❤️ Honestly, watching the progress, the videos, the encouragement and the support between both packs over these six weeks has been bloody incredible. Matt and I couldn't be prouder of you all! 🏆 BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET! There's still one final skill to master, one final chance to show us what you've got, and some serious pack pride on the line! 👉 Head into the classroom NOW, watch Skill 6 and get training! Flood those pack chats with your progress, support your teammates and let's make this final week the BIGGEST one yet! ENGAGEMENT COMES BEFORE TRAINING. RELATIONSHIP COMES BEFORE FREEDOM. LET'S BLOODY GO!!! 🔥🔥🔥
