Hi there! I have a younger dog, a female Jack Russell terrier who’s 7 months old. The first thing I started doing with her was teaching her to come to a command and everytime I reward her bountifully. She gets praise and some form of treat 95% of the time. She’s been doing wonderfully and has always come pretty quick.
Lately I feel like she has decided it’s no longer worth returning if there’s something better that she has her sights on.
How can I continue to improve recall?
I’m not just letting her loose anywhere and then fumbling around like an idiot to get her back but I do have a busy household and sometimes she’ll dive out the front door near the busy road (another thing I’m actively working on) but if/when this happens she needs to know to come…
Any tips for really strengthening recall or should I just keep praising her when she comes (I never call her when she’s in trouble) and always making it a big deal and hope it’s just adolescence? I’d love any tips or tricks I might’ve missed!
