[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why havent you trained recall (or literally anything) to your dog? Is it supposed to come recall trained?[/quote]

Op - I do recall training but I do not have time every day to do training. She comes back in our backyard but nowhere else.

We have 3 young kids who are in sports and school and activity. I already spend 3 hours of my day with her. [/quote]

If the dog returns from recall in the backyard what exactly is the problem?  Your dog should not be off leash outside of your property.  In most jurisdictions that is not even legal.  You sound like you have unreasonable expectations for the dog.[/quote]

Op - we have 100 acre property that no leash is needed (not in DC where we have a house with a backyard). I would love her to be able to be off leash but so far that has resulted in us running after her as she runs away. [/quote]

That sounds awesome! You sadly may never have a dog with recall good enough to return on 100 acres. Probably good to start accepting that now. I have two dogs - one recall was pretty easy because he wants to be with us at all times. The other would see a rabbit and be absolutely gone no matter how hard I worked on recall. Dogs are different and even with breeders, you can’t quite know what you’re going to get. [/quote]
