Utonagan Recall

Lady's a N.I. and did a great recall in puppy class the other night (mind you I did insist we did it on the long line as we were outside with a lot of distractions and she hadn't even done a recal on a short lead inside!)-I reckon you should never ask a dog to do anything off the lead it won't do perfectly on the lead.  |

Mine have passed their silver standard at dog training. Most of the times when we are out, their recall is pretty good. I keep them onlead near roads and things like that obviously, but when they are running free, and they see other dogs they will still run up to them and ignore me, I have found that walking away from them and calling them to me does work, they then get a piece of dog chew as a reward. We are gradually getting there now, it does take longer with them, but they are so different from your normal run-of-the-mill dog anyway that you get to expect them not be easy - because they are not!!! They are fantastic with children and other dogs. Today it took me 2 1/2 hours to take them for a walk. It was a beautiful day and every few minutes people would stop and admire them, ask to stroke them, ask what breed they were. All through this they were patient and quiet (you'll find they rarely if ever bark) and were an excellent advertisement for the breed. |

I to have a NI... her recall is usually very good... the only time she conveniently turns deaf, is if she wants to say hello to another dog, i usually end up having to go and get her.. LOL |

her recall is quite good unless she is distracted by another dog, but she is so friendly that she will go to anyone else calling their own dog back. If I turn my back and walk the other way she carries on following the other dog walker, and I have to go and grab her. |

Im a NI owner and have to say recall is a problem, Jess wont wander away from us, she will walk about 10 paces and continually look over her shoulder to make sure we are close by, she will also follow us when we call her but when we want her to come to our feet she will come back most of the time, making sure she is a few paces away from us so she can run if we try and put er on the leash, ****** lugs. She is 7months at the mo and recall is one of the biggest mountain to climb with both NI's and Utes, so make sure you get a good trainer! lol |

We can't trust our NI outside to come back. He is too friendly and curious. He will do it inside at dog training but not outside. We think it might improve with age and practice but don't think he will ever recall like our GSDs did. He does cry if we go upstairs even for a minute but isn't good when there are distractions. |
