Any tips for RECALL

For the past week bruce as just found his confidance
And thinks any one he see's he has to run upto.
And when i call him he does not listen.
I have just bought a 30 ft lead so he will be on that tomoz.
Has any one got any tips on call there puppy back

Any info will do.
Thanks

Food, and lots of it. Banes's recall is getting better each day, it tends to be even better if the treats are tasty. Let him smell them first, give them freely then while on lead bend and say come when he comes give lots of praise and a treat, then when he gets good let him off and keep doing it,
Ps. It only tends to work with tasty treats lol. I learnt the hard way lol

A long training lead, practise, practise, practise. The lead will give you confidence and still be in control while puppy can have a great time exploring and learning. A harness may be a better idea with the training lead so the neck is not put under too much strain.

Yeh i got a harnest. I will give it ago in the morning.
Ill let you no the progress.
Thanks.

Treats and practice!   Use something really tasty like cheese or hot dog sausage!

All of the above, let us know how you get on oh and we'll need pics please

Ok ill get pics.

Yes tasty treats worked for me too, and just repeat repeat repeat good luck will await the update   

Can't really add much more but the treats and practice do work. It can take alot of practice though

Great advice from everyone, only thing I'll add is to "check in" at least 30 times on a walk initially.. This will train him to be focused on you and when you're going to give him a tasty treat. That can be lessened eventually, but Biscuit is 5 and I still get her to check in up to 10 times on a walk, she's always watching where I am now also excited silly tones of voice.. You need to be more exciting than whatever else is around him.

My OH often forgets that recall is a command too, and just calls their name or says "come on" or "come here" where as I've trained the single word "come" as I would "sit" or "stay" and I've also recall trained on a whistle which has helped loads

Ledger is venturing about a bit more off lead now and 'bye' is the trigger word for him to come back to me we also worked hard on 'stand' just for him to stop where he is and I want to work on an emergency down for when we venture further afield off lead just incase

Ah we do this with Biscuit too! She knows "wait" before going around corners (just in case there's a dog/person there!) and and "stay" where she automatically sits until we reach her and "heel" when I want her to stay close. She doesn't like lying down at the best of times indoor though, sod trying to get her to do it when it's cold/wet  

We have been training recall with Bane for a couple of months now with the long lead and he has got a little better...not great though. It's sort of hit and miss as to whether he decides to come back, I just find the hardest thing is to get his attention, as in to look at me. Once he sees something even if i am standing in between him and the thing, or waving tasty treats in his face, or jumping up and down making silly noises, his eyes do not move.
Any further tips for getting their attention?

Thistle was exactly the same, and I did everything that has been suggested, then one day she just 'got it' I was quite surprised when she immediatley stopped playing with another dog and came back :-) she's 10 months old now.

We started with a training lead and treats with sasha, luckily she is easy to train especially if it concerns food lol. The practice does pay off sasha is 9 months old now and I would say that she has 90% recall now theres not much that distracts her now apart from birds, ducks or even ducks with bread lol xx

Oh I forgot a command of 'come sasha' in a different tone of voice, she knows when she has too come and when im just talking in general xx

Just a little update.
Long lead training going well
Just not bin the right wheather to tKe pic but soon as i get some ill put them on.
Thank for all the replys

Pleased to hear it's going well, keep up the good work   

I'll tell you what really worked for me.. whenever I had Zeus off lead in a park and he went further than what I wanted him to.. instead of calling him and running after him, I ran away from him.

Soon enough, he realised to stay with me and not go too far.
