Thanks for your question on my blog. ...Hi Fatima,<br /><br />Thanks for your question on my blog. I just wanted to make sure you saw the answer.<br /><br />A recall is no good if you cannot then catch your dog. So touching the collar each time ensures that your dog is not surprised or offended by it. It becomes a good habit. <br /><br />I pretty much always use food for recall rewards. Just depends on the dog, but I pick greyhounds that really love food so they are easy to reward and I use good food. Their responses are much sharper, faster, and reliable than 99.9% of the dogs on the planet. But I would not have nearly the results if I just praised them. Mine would choose freedom, squirrels, meeting other dogs, etc. over any affection. If you truly want a good recall for an emergency, your reward needs to be able to compete with the world. <br /><br />Happy Training!<br /><br />JenNever Say Never Greyhoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001070229800933763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523585888362536373.post-18814400922192485832011-09-26T13:35:45.556+13:002011-09-26T13:35:45.556+13:00Ohh, poor Pedro!!
