1. Run away from the dog with one of his toys, making obvious enjoyment out of the toy.
2. Go get in the car and leave the dog's door open.
3. Go pet another dog. Preferably a dog that your dog looks up to.
4. At lure coursing events, some folks bring the dog's supper bowl and kibble to the field, and serve dinner out there to runaway dogs.
The recall must always be a good thing for the dog. A sit or down may work if that is strongly trained, but if it fails, shouting ineffectively just teaches the dog that he doesn't have to do as told, and you're a little too mad to be fun to spend time with right now. If the sit, down or recall does work, make a big party over it. A dog usually runs for fun or to chase something, and he needs a reward better than what he's missing out on.
That is when I hit the pager button on the ecollar. If that fails then the stim comes next. The old invisible leash cures that baloney.
Yeah, I plan to get one of those before we start intentional off-lead work. Sometimes though stuff happens. The dog slips out of the car before you get the lead on, the dog chomps on the lead and severs it, the dog jumps/scales the fence, the e-collar isn't on, the long line isn't long enough and the dog takes off fast... It's good to have a backup plan.
Not what I meant. I do not me run away but if decoy pressures to hard and dog says no bite. Not worried about the dog coming to me but wanting to know how to end the session. I have a GSD who is bite crazy and very defensive, Czhech lines. I dropped him out of sport due to bad hip, seems ok should have kept going. Sometimes I let people with no dog ecp, take bites from him. Just wanted to know if some how they pushed to hard what to do. Has not happened yet
