The Recall Activity Guide: Foundations - Building Attention and Recall Behaviors Without Your Recall Cue

Master these foundation games for attention, orientation, and moving towards you and you will be able to work through almost any distraction.

Welcome back to our Recall Guide series.

In the previous section, we talked about markers (specifically for food). As we you progress through this guide, you will rely on your dog’s strong, consistent response to markers.

In this section, we’re covering some foundation games for building aspects of the recall behavior. And the added bonus? You will get to continue to strengthen your marker every time you play a game!

We have a future section devoted to adding tougher distractions to this games, so the goal for this section is really about mastering these games (and building a big R+ history) in a variety of lower-distraction settings.
