just after some options for the formal recall. i have a siberian husky dog and the only thing that is stopping me getting his first title is the recall. it is not that he dosn't do it, it's that he is to fast antisapates the comand and over shoots me, comes around my back and sits in heel position. what i need is for him to come, sit in frount and WATE for the command to finish. it is so frustrating his heel work is perfict, rock solid stayes....... he is just so willing to do the recall. i am sceptical on using any +P as he is a sibe and recall needs to be enjoyable other wise he whon't come......it's a sibe thing i had to pick a stuborn easily hurt hard to train dog as my first tryal dog
Marianne,
Try starting just a few step away, close enough he can't get a head of steam up. Maybe even start just a couple of steps away from him, just enough so really all he needs to do is shift position a few inches. At any rate, close enough that he won't jump ahead of him self, and I wouldn't mention the finish until I had him coming pretty to the front first. Work farther and farther away as he learns the front is where he belongs.
Good luck on your titles.
If my dog isn't learning, I'm doing something wrong.

Randy’s idea is great! This should be your first tool. When in doubt, go back to basics.
Here is another, from an owner whose dog would run right into my legs and knock me down in his enthusiasm … IF the dog has a great sit out of motion (and maybe not even so much&hellip and truly does know the position (as per the way Randy advised) try telling the dog to sit about three or four strides from you. When a dog is hauling, it could take him that long to gather himself and sit. Judge the dog’s reaction and adjust your timing.
And congrats to you to have worked a Sibe in OB. They tend to be very intelligent dogs with a stubborn streak a mile long. You have already shown you ability to have patience and skill, as well as your willingness to take on a challenge! Kudos to you!
i initaly trained the recall using backwood chaining (the method randy allen mentioned)and have gorn back to that but i have noticed a huge reduction in drive and stoped it. as mentioned fun fun fun otherwise i run the risk of no recall or slugish slow recall, i put the lack of drive due to being bored something i don't need or want especially with this breed. i think i will go your method Jessica it sounds good, though i might creat a narrow run so he can't pass me and reward the sit and slowly moove back so he has room to pass and finish.......but then i have to fade the barear (run) out......don't think i'm going to make that trial in 2 weeks oh well.
Jessica thanks for the nice complement, to be honest he was a treat to train i'm one of those people who can just get the dog to do things.
Backwood chaining? Not a method or a word I'm fimilar with.
The way I had envisioned it all happening was to use what ever you had been using right along, just at shorter distantances.
If my dog isn't learning, I doing something wrong.

I hate to be dense, but I never mentioned chaining at all!
As to fun fun fun, thats up to you on how the attidute goes during any training. You can make it oh hum boring or you can make it up beat and as you say fun fun fun.

I have to admit, I'm completely flummoxed as to what is being talked about enre to this backwood chaining.
Possibly the op is refering to an author? Perhaps someone named Backwood or maybe Blackwood and the chain is in reference to teaching individual exercises then linking several separate sequences together for a finished result. Maybe? Hmmmm, doesn't sound like thats what she was talking about though.
I can't imagine how trying to teach a recall by back tieing would be a good idea or productive. Ergo the reaching for some kind of reasonable explaination for this backwood chaining mentioned.
Any ideas.......Anyone?
If I'm not learning, I'm not paying attention.
