This is interesting. I am curious what the negative comments are and if there are potential downsides. I see that you show a sit and can mix the pass through with a sit command so the dog responds. Again, curious of downsides and things to avoid in process. You can find me at Dublem Gundogs for email. We are trying to use many positive training techniques and this looks good to me.
Love this... i play this recall game in many different ways....recall follow the arm around in clockwise or anticlockwise direction and throw the treat out to the front of me, through the legs and straight round to the front and throw treat out, recall and round me standing still and throw treat out in front. Recall 'touch hand' and throw treat out But never tried throwing the treat straight through me legs to end up behind me..so one for me to try. Thankyou,
Great video :) you're obviously a great dog owner, and have put heaps of time and love into training your dog. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us/
LOL. I have to admit - I was nervous at first. Chase is 91 lbs & 29" at the shoulder. He is high drive/high enthusiasm. He figured it out pretty quickly and now it's one of his favorite games. He had lovely recalls in competition.
Great idea... My boy (in tact) has the "exploration gene" and I really would like to improve his recall. This looks like a great method to employ. THANKS!
im going to try this!! i am desperate to find a way of teaching my one year old border collie how to come! he just ignores me!! so im hoping thsi will work for me! im also going to try some other things!
This exercise is really intended for dogs who already have a reliable recall. Maybe we can talk Emily into making a video on how to teach a strong recall (Emily-hint, hint). Always make it fun and NEVER call your dog to you to do what he/she perceives as punishment. And, if your dog has already learned to ignore your recall work, you may want to start over with a new word (here, front). Good luck with your training!
@mollybrandybillly with young dogs it might be easiest to make the gesture for "invitation to game" which is both hands down, preferably on the ground, when the dog arrives he can play with a toy or whatever, then do progressively bigger distances with signal and name together. With older dogs, that often fails.
This is great! My dog Holly does wonderful recalls from any distance but slows down when she gets near so Im going to give this a go with her. Thanks for taking the time to make this. 5* and in my favourites.
Let me know how that works. You may want to give the cheeseballs a try just to see if it works. Because the food is moving, and they can see it move, it plays to the dog's prey drive (in addition to food motivation). Let me know how you make out either way.

Great idea! I throw the disc to have my dogs run faster through the Agility weave poles, but never thought of using it for a fast recall. Thanks!

What a cool exercise!!! Pity I don't have a food driven dog... But I suppose I could substitute the food for a tug toy or ball!
