The international bestselling book from renowned dog training expert Pippa Mattinson.
The definitive dog and puppy training manual – easy to read and designed to help all dog owners with one simple but overwhelming problem: their dog won’t come back when they call him or her!
The book is divided into three parts:
1. Preparation: all the information you’ll ever need in order to prepare and support yourself and your dog as you work through the training programme, including information on how your dog learns, practical training with rewards and beyond training.
2. A detailed Recall Training Programme complete with exercises to work through. In other words, the ‘how to’ section of the book where you’ll learn puppy recall; pre-recall for older dogs; basic recall; on location training and ultimately recall for life.
3. The problem solving section, where you can discover why you got into difficulties in the past and learn how to avoid making the same mistakes again in the future. Enjoy your training journey, improve your relationship and have fun with your dog!
“The book’s strength lies in clear, engaging writing and, in particular, in its structured exercises designed to build a recall from scratch” – Dogs Today
A must-have book for all dog owners
