Building a connection that brings your dog back every time
Tired of calling your dog and getting zero response? You’re not the only one. This in-person workshop series is for people who want to feel more confident about letting their dog off the lead - and actually getting them back when it matters.
Over three small-group sessions, we’ll build a recall that works around real distractions, not just in your kitchen. Whether your dog has never had a strong recall or they used to but now seem to have selective hearing, this series is designed to meet you where you’re at.
I’m Bobbi-Rae — trainer, behaviour coach, and someone who knows how frustrating it is when your dog completely blanks you. I’ll show you how to build trust, focus, and responses that hold up under pressure.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
Part 1 – Foundations
We’ll get clear on your recall cue and show your dog why it’s worth paying attention. This is where we strip it back and rebuild the association with coming back - no nagging, no chasing, no bribing.
Part 2 – Distractions
Once your dog is engaged, we’ll work around more distractions: food, toys, people, dogs. We’ll also introduce an emergency recall — something that can cut through noise and excitement when you really need it.
Part 3 – Movement & Real-World Scenarios
This is where it gets practical. We’ll practise recall around moving distractions and begin teaching an emergency stop. These are the things that give you peace of mind on a walk.
Want to keep going?
Top-up sessions are available after the course. These are great if you want to revisit certain scenarios, practise in new locations, or just keep building your confidence.
This course is for you if
- Your dog ignores you when there’s something more exciting
- You feel nervous letting your dog off lead
- You’re ready to practise regularly and put in the work between sessions
- You’d rather have clear, practical support than sift through endless advice online
