Another thought on the recall . . .
I know that having high-value treats available when training the recall are the usual practice. What about a particular noise? What I have in mind is the squeaker on a dog toy. After Nickie chewed up his last two fluffy dog toys (when he was still a lot younger), I confiscated the plastic squeaker and put it away. The other day I decided to see what he would do if I squeaked it where he couldn't see it. He was in the other room and came zooming over to me about 50 miles an hour! I also had treats in my hand and gave him a treat plus praise but did not let him see the source of the noise.
Any thoughts on using this noise to teach the recall?
I didn't get any responses from this question. Any thoughts from anyone?

I can't imagine it would be too different from using a whistle. I keep a whistle with me whenever we go out, in case he ever gets away from me (God forbid) and the distance too far to yell loud enough. My dog comes at the sound of a squeaker also, as well as a whistle.
In other words, I use voice, whistle, squeaker and various other noises, as well as a hand signal to call him. Hand signal only works if he's looking at me of course. Whatever I have in my arsenal, I use as long as it works.
