I’ve written many times that Delilah has a 30 foot leash for our hikes in the woods. Normally the dogs are pretty close to me, but if they make a turn and I can’t see them or they get out of my range of vision, I sort of panic. That is why I work on her recall every single time we are out there.
I’ve noticed that different people have different words for calling their dogs. Some people use front while others simply say, come. Most of the time when we are in the training center I say here and put my hand on my chest.
When we are off leash walking, I have a variety of words/phrases that I use. Sometimes I say, this way, other times I say, did you forget where the mama is? or where are you going, silly? Sometimes I simply use a traditional here or come.
Then there are times like today when I just say,
What words do you use to recall your dog? Do you find that one works better than another?
