What is it ?
Ricochet means to ping back and that’s what we want our dogs to do when we recall them
What do we need to do ?
- Train It
- Practice It
- Use REINFORCERS that have the highest value
- Reward ALL check-ins during other times of the day
- Do not recall for anything he doesn’t like or won’t like
- Pick your moment
- Do not go to your dog if you’ve recalled unless you are so close the 2nd time you don’t owe me £50 !!
- Do not make the recall the end of the game/fun – mix up the end so your dog doesn’t predict that recall means game over
- Practice it on every walk for life but not just at the end of the walk
