I can be sneaky and get a "normal interaction" once but then she knows I have treats and won't leave my side. She does have a favorite squeakie toy. Maybe I can get her to walk a bit away from my by throwing that and then call her back. I don't know. It's going to take some figuring out.Jessica @ YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636058596387444739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-13322787087646259472016-03-13T15:25:26.435-06:002016-03-13T15:25:26.435-06:00I'm so glad you posted about these leads, sinc...I'm so glad you posted about these leads, since now I'm obsessed. Even though Buster's recall is pretty awesome, we need to practice in real life situations more, so I'll take him out on this long line to practice. I agree though that recall is absolutely the hardest thing to teach a dog. Good for you for getting out and working on it :) Alix Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584107227715575750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-22959638671507022942016-03-11T22:24:25.417-07:002016-03-11T22:24:25.417-07:00Thanks for suggesting these great long lines! I...Thanks for suggesting these great long lines! I'm bookmarking this so that when I buy us a new line, I know where to go--I've just about had it with our old cotton one. <br /><br />Nala used to not always come when sniffing or when tired, too. Practicing calling her away from food thrown first into places that made it inaccessible (like under the couch) and then from sniffing piles of food has changed that! Funny thing--I really like our furniture Zen game (and even wrote about it in my post this week), but it basically came to be because I am really terrible at throwing food accurately and food frequently ends up under the furniture. I am pretty afraid of what we'll see whenever we move the couch.

I love that Boca jumped at the leash because that is exactly what Piper would do :-) Recall with Simon and Zora is a little easier to work because both are HIGHLY food motivated. Piper could not care less about food when we are out and about with distractions so I love the idea of being able to practice greater distances without the fear of her taking off.

For our super-food-motivated Labs, we sometimes get them to stop paying attention to our treat bags by tossing a treat for them to find on the ground. As they search, we drift away from them. Then we call them after they've found the treat.<br /><br />That's a good prelude to Lauren's impulse control idea!<br /><br />I'm going to check out that long line for next time we have a new dog!!!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-37459830187427379802016-03-07T18:33:08.251-07:002016-03-07T18:33:08.251-07:00That long line is so nice!

It's good that you recognize both dogs have different needs and are adjusting accordingly. With Boca being "too" food motivated I'd probably add in extra impulse control work with food and you can also even try placing little piles of food on the ground outside when you practice. That's what we do in our impulse control class. We have the students practice calling their dogs away from the food on the ground. :)zoepheedogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959397251791559890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-10254086495741435132016-03-07T13:02:37.422-07:002016-03-07T13:02:37.422-07:00I'm loving that line.
