Total Recall: Perfect Response Training for Puppies and Adult Dogs
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Total Recall: Perfect Response Training for Puppies and Adult Dogs is the definitive manual for anyone who has ever wished their dog would come back when called. It’s written to be easy to read and simple to implement, designed to help every dog owner tackle a single, common challenge: a recall that reliably fails in real life. The book unfolds in three practical parts: Preparation — the groundwork you’ll need to support both you and your dog as you work through training, including how dogs learn and how rewards drive progress; a detailed Recall Training Programme — a clear, step-by-step how-to that guides you from puppy recall through pre-recall for older dogs, basic recall, on-location training, and finally recall for life; and the problem solving section — a smart framework to identify past mistakes and prevent them from reoccurring. Expect positive, rewards-based training, practical exercises, and a supportive tone that keeps training enjoyable for both you and your dog. Whether you’re starting with a puppy or strengthening an adult dog’s recall, this guide helps you build a dependable cue you can trust anywhere you walk together.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
What sets Total Recall apart is its relentless focus on real-world reliability delivered in a friendly, practical package. The three-part structure mirrors the journey every owner faces: lay the foundations, follow a progressive recall programme, and promptly troubleshoot when things go off track. Pippa Mattinson’s approach blends clear, repeatable exercises with a genuine understanding of canine behavior, emphasizing positive reinforcement and bite-sized milestones that prevent overwhelm. The on-location components simulate distractions you’ll encounter on daily walks, parks, or busy streets, ensuring the recall isn’t just theoretical but genuinely transferable. This isn’t a one-off trick book; it’s a durable system designed to improve safety, reduce frustration, and deepen the human–dog bond through consistent, joyful practice.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
If you’re a new puppy owner, a first-time dog parent, or someone who needs to fix a weak recall in an older dog, this book speaks directly to you. It’s equally valuable for families seeking safer, more enjoyable dog walks, and for anyone who wants a clear, results-driven plan without vague promises. Readers who appreciate a science-informed yet approachable guide will find the step-by-step drills, real-life scenarios, and problem-solving tips especially useful. Whether aiming to enjoy off-leash freedom in safe spaces or simply want a more responsive companion at home and out and about, Total Recall provides a practical path to a happier, more trainable dog.
