Today is the day! The Top 6 videos from our Recallers Video Competition will now FACE-OFF to determine who is the official winner of the 3rd Annual Recallers Video Contest!
Let me begin by saying that the makers of these 6 videos should be incredibly proud, as should all of our top 15! These videos stood out among 260 to not only the staff here at Say Yes, but to your peers! It is a huge accomplishment to have made it this far! Your stories have touched many hearts, and it is the JOY in these videos that have made you winners, no matter what the video outcome is!
For those of you just tuning in, we asked our Recallers 3.0 alumni (that’s the past students of The Five Minute Formula to a Brilliant Recall) to submit videos about their Recallers experience. We had 260 videos from past students pour in, and we narrowed down those videos to the Top 15. Then, each day for 3 days, we posted 5 videos on the blog (see them here: Day 1 videos, Day 2 videos, Day 3 videos) and asked our readers to vote for their top TWO videos.
Today, you will vote for your favourite 3 videos of the top 6 to choose the final 3 winners, who will win an awesome prize pack totalling over $300! A big thank you to our sponsors, DogWise.com and Agility Q, for their generosity during this competition! These prizes are awesome!!!

Here are the prizes again:
1.) Each winner will also receive a prize bundle from Agility Q totaling $100 in value! Each prize pack will include a harness, all-in-one leash, and rainbow wraps!

I sure hope I can get through many, if not all the video’s…there so creative…so much inspiration for myself and my students! Looking forward to another Recallers with still lot’s to learn myself!!
One more way that Recallers is cool – As Sheri and I were chatting through facebook about our excitement in being included in this video contest, we realized she knows Dante’s brother Zest!! Such a small world. Recallers is a great way to make new friends!
They’re all great! Giving hope to the rest of us whose dogs have “issues”. Good luck!
Such inspiring videos! Hard to choose. My first bc, (rescue) what a learning experience he has been! Taken him to dozens of classes but nothing has clicked with us, still distracted. Owner needs training and I am looking forward to recallers!
All the videos were great. So many of them I could relate too. Been there, done or doing that with both the struggles and the successes. It made choosing all the more difficult.
What Susan has given us with Recalers is priceless and it shows in the videos. We and especially our dogs are happily all winners. See you in Recallers 4.0!
Wow, that was a tough decision; well, 3 tough decisions. Great videos, all of them.
Great job to everyone. I had a really hard time only choosing 3. Did anyone make it through watching these videos withOUT crying? That happens to me a lot when I see any videos of struggle, then triumph. Love it!!
Thanks for everyone’s vote…all the videos are awesome…Rocky was “attacked” by a bearded collie and was really afraid of large dogs. So, although he looks like he is a tough cookie, I need to play games with him before we run.. to keep his mind off worries. Recallers has been such a godsend and I am truly having so much fun with my little guy!
WoW…Just Wow. That’s the joy and companionship and teamwork I’m looking for! Wonderful, creative videos. I’m grateful to all of you!
How can I vote if all are beatiful, moving awasome, unique stories….thank for all
Diane Lewis- I’m so happy to see your video here! I still think it’s one of the best videos I’ve seen! Such great work!
Wow, Willy, that is such an awesome thing to say!! I really made it from the heart and every day I think about that journey and get off my butt and train my dog!! I still work hard, but I refuse to let it get in the way of my partnership. I nearly let it go for too long and could have lost the opportunity to share in Dante’s joy.
Your comments mean a lot!
Diane
Diane it shows that it came from your heart, it is beautiful.
The video for Dagris Punder is not showing here or on the original page. Is it just me?
I got it to load….refreshed about 10 times and it popped up 🙂
Having trained a very timid dog with little or no self-confidence, I know what it took to do this Nathalie! Congrats!
That was hard! All of the videos are super. The the 15 and the final 6. Very difficult to narrow it down. I’m glad we didn’t have to choose just 1.
Nathalie, you rock!
Thank you 🙂
Boy, that was hard voting for just 3!! Every video is wonderful. Such heart melting examples of finding the joy through Recallers!
Unbeliavable that I made it to the final! Thank you! it is such a joy and a lot of suspense!! 🙂
Wishing good luck to everyone ! amazing videos, dfficult choices to make.
Loved my experience .
Hey- a fellow GSD owner made it to the finals! Great for you! Got my vote for choosing such a great breed… 😀
:))))
Your video inspires me!
I have a Jack Russell, whose agility runs are very much like yours! She even left the ring, when she heard someone open a bag of dog cookies!
Your dogs transformation is amazing!
