Re: SO...the recall is supposed to be the FIRST thing learned?

Aside from your puppy, the leash and treats are your very best friends.

A recall should always be fun and happy, and coming to you should ALWAYS be the most fun thing in the universe !!!!! Moving away from the pup and inviting her in should help.

With a leash, you can always control the outcome of any given request.

With food, you have a reward which makes the likelihood of your pup coming to you next time even greater.

With puppy, you have something to connect the leash to and and feed the reward for a job well done.
