The trainer in the vids suggests just using the dogs name as a recall cue and using an urgent tone, mainly because this is what you will do if the dog heads towards the road ect.

If you whistle-train your dog you get used to using it.

Very good, but the way you write it suggests that this took a long time!

Why should training a simple behaviour like recall take a long time?

I see no benifit to the dog/owner/or guinea fowl at in this.

For some dogs recall is NOT a simple behavior.

For some dogs recalling away from something super awesome is a TOUGH behavior.

Recall should always be taught in the most positive way ever because otherwise you get a dog who is either (1) scared to be with you and only comes out of fear or (2) a dog who will not come to you.

Personally, I found teaching recall simple. I made me the best thing ever in my dog's eyes. It didn't take long to teach at all. We had her off leash with us within the first month of her being our dog.

Depends how you train, like I said I don't see why it should take for ever/never be achieved.

I'd have her (or any dog) off in the first few weeks (high distractions)

I don't think so, This idea that you need a relationship to train is simply a reworking of the old pack leader stuff with nicer semantics.

Recall is a learned response. I can take a dog that I have never met/worked with and have it recalling (from distractions) reliably within a few hours of training!

I don't require any sort of relationship with the dog, I just need to know what motivates the dog and take it from there.

As Jean Donaldson say ''some of the most complex animal training is done when there is very little bond between animal and handler''
