[quote=Anonymous][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]

Do you have a long line? I trained my dogs recall using a 50 foot leash (not a flexi). It gave the appearance of freedom while giving me control to reel the dog in if it didn’t listen.

Side note: a trainer taught me that if my dog escapes and doesn’t come back when called, rather than chase I should turn and run the other way, and the dog will usually turn and chase you. It’s a game, not necessarily an escape plan. YMMV[/quote]

I lie down and they always come back to sniff and see if I am dead. [/quote]
