What do you get when you combine over 260 awesome videos + a great prize pack from generous sponsors?
You get the 4th Official Recallers Video Contest!
As you may know, we’ve been running a video contest over the last week for our past Recaller students; that’s alumni of the Five Minute Formula to a Brilliant Recall 3.0! And the videos poured in…so quickly that we could hardly keep up! But we did, and we watched every last one of them. Once again, I was blown away by how much Recallers has helped you and your dogs. The themes were consistent among each of the videos:
“Recallers helped me find the JOY in my training!” “Recallers is SO MUCH FUN!” “Recallers improved my relationship and communication with my dog!” And my personal favorite: “Recallers changed my life!”
I love watching your videos every year because I love to hear how much Recallers is bettering your lives…and your dogs’ lives! That was my goal from the very beginning, and the results are truly heartwarming! This year was no exception, and narrowing down those 260 videos to just 15 was HARD, but we did it!
Here’s how it will work:
We’ve decided to do things a bit differently this year than we have in previous years. We’ll post 5 of the top videos every day for 3 days (in no particular order), just like last year. But this year, you can vote for your 2 favorite videos from each day, since we know how hard it is to choose just one! Then, on Day 4, we’ll have the top 2 videos of each day go head-to-head for one final day of voting!
And it all starts today! So, without further ado, I’ll begin by announcing the awesome prizes we have for the winners this year! These products/companies are tried and tested by yours truly and they are all awesome…so a big shout out to our generous sponsors for this year’s great prizes!!!

Well, I much approve Nancy Ditz and Diane Lewis. They both hit most emotional and more faith and saying of possible reliable truth. They show feelings of the owner and the dog bringing strong relationships.
I want to thank everyone for their amazing comments!! I’m so glad you felt the emotion that I did when I lived it and turned my journey into a movie. Recallers is an amazing experience of bonding with your dog and really tugs your heart and soul back where they belong – making every day game day, creating joy for your dog in their work (and along the way, finding your own!), and becoming brilliant partners.
Congratz also to Deb Camilleri – I watched her live that story, when she thought Maestro would be just a dog. (She told me she didn’t like dogs and, on seeing a picture of Dante, said she would be afraid of him!) My how times have changed! Recallers helped her discover the magic within this world of dog training and with it she got a new best friend.
The key to all these transformations is Susan, so once again – thanks and I can’t wait for 4.0!!
Tears of joy! Relationship is everything. They were all “The Best”!
Wow, I am so excited for Recallers!
Jeez I cried and cried too! All the videos were so good and so deserving. And THAT IS WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR RECALLERS SUSAN! You definitely bring the “BRILLIANT” to DOG TRAINING by teaching the TRUE JOY of training through simple easy to replicate exercises. I loved my recallers course with you and to watch others express their joy and changed relationships just makes the tears roll! I can’t wait to see who wins. Good Luck to all!
Lost and found is a stark reminder of why we have Dogs as companions, for the joy and fun and loyalty and enrichment that they bring to our lives.
Aboslutely loved Diane Lewis’s video, struck quite a chord with me, enough so that I will probably have to do the next recallers course.
Tried to view videos and all came back not available. Did I miss a deadline to view? Only got the email about them yesterday. Or could be my iPad?
Hi Sandy! You should be able to view them…I tried on my iPad and I could, and you definitely didn’t miss the deadline. Maybe try to refresh and try it again? Might have just been a hiccup on YouTube’s end. Let me know if you keep having trouble!
I loved all of these videos. I want to say that I did not vote for Diane Lewis’, but hers was every bit as good, to me, as the two I did vote for. And hers is the one I need to share with clients! So many owners just “too busy” and preoccupied to play, for even five minutes, with their dogs. But when they realize it can just be five minutes at a time, and can be soooo much fun, then they begin to fit it in. Thank you for all you have done for the relationships between owners and their dogs, Susan!!!
These are so good!! This is so much fun!! I’m so excited for Recallers 4.0!!
Bring on today’s videos!!
Wow, what great videos! It was difficult to pick just two, but I managed it. Seeing all these videos is making me so excited for the new Recallers course.
Extremely Creative!!
My favorite video is Lost and Found by Diane Lewis because it reminds me that time spent with family including our four-legged family is precious and more important than work.
Ohhh i think i m in love with joey … ;)))) Such a cute face !
All I can say is…W O W !!! Very very hard to decide…. great videos!
Yes, Diane’s pulled at my heart strings too. Know what it is like. Can’t watch more – have to go train – five balls in my lap!
All five are incredible videos. I am also having an emotional day apparently because I was also moved to tears. Well done all of you. I think recallers is also responsible for some awesome film makers.
I would like to vote for all five. Each tells a different aspect about what is wonderful about having a dog and learning to have a better relationship as well as for the person to develop more into the person they can and want to be. They each inspire me to want to join in the Recaller’s growth, fun and joy.
LOL oh what fun. I loved all of them but the part about Relationship is so true. It may be called Recallers but it is soooo much more. Recallers may someday save your dog”s life but it will definately build your relationship and give your dog a very happy fun life! We loved Recallers from the start and all my dogs and future dogs will play these games! So JOIN!
Not fair! Tears rolling down my cheeks as I watched these. I want to vote for them all!
Lovely, Lovely All!!!!
After viewing these amazing videos,my favorites are “Just a Dog” and “Lost and Found”. Maestro and Dante are so lucky to have such loving, caring, and totally dedicated “Moms”.
Love them all! I couldn’t see the 5th video (what a pity). I voted for Diane, because that’s so true for me too – especially at the moment where I have to work when I come home from work 🙁 So I just squeezed in a session for my boys 🙂
They’re all amazing! How am I supposed to choose just 2.
Great job everyone!
WOW!!!!I love all this videos…Recallers 4.0 will be just in english or it is to wait for french one’s?
Nathalie, le recallers 4.0 sera en anglais. Mais ne t’empêche pas de faire le cours a cause de ça y’a beaucoup de support de tous,même pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas très bien l’anglais!
Merci…ça me tente beaucoup!!!
Nathalie
Recallers 4.0 will only be in english, we are looking at the possibility of a French Recallers in the future but nothing to report at this time.
Thanks,for the answer…I really want to be on recallers 4.0!I’m in puppy peaks sometime my best friend is the dictionnary but it’s a good way to pratice my english and Owen(my dog)deserves it
What wonderful videos. I loved them all! so inspiring, joyful, and entertaining!….good on all of you for your hard work and to Susan for showing everyone the way…
How difficult too choose all vidios so great. Each had some special meaning for me, but in the end had too choose 2.) Deborah Camilleri
As its just a dog, words I hear all the time both from new and long term dog owners who just don’t know, or truly love a dog and know that it’s not just a dog
A couple of them really brought tears to my eyes, but I had to vote for Nancy and her never give up spirit.
Thank you so much. This entire community is so supportive–it is a joy to be able to participate and I am learning by leaps and bounds every day.
Lost and Found by Diane Lewis is my favorite. How true for many of us that when things are hectic at work our loved ones are the ones that suffer.
Oh yeah … I should KNOW better than to watch this stuff at work. All of the sniffling is sure to make my co-workers wonder about me. Great videos!
The “Lost and Found” video by Diane tugs at my heart strings!
Love Diane’s emotional “Lost and Found” video!
They are all very good but I have to admit that Diane Lewis’ video hit close to home and almost brought me to tears.
I love seeing these relationships! So special!
Each of them so very good; so much time put into producing them. I did have my favorite though, but good luck to all!
Oh no. This is SO HARD! Congratulations to ALL five wonderful videos. Now I have to choose…… two 🙁
Great group of videos!
These all were fantastic and tell a beautiful story of special relationships. Very hard to vote but Dianne’s video struck a chord with. It’s so easy to use that excuse. Now it’s time for me to get off the computer and go play with my boy!!!
Difficult to choose but my heart just melted at “just a dog?!?!” SO true!
Love Diane’s video of the hardworking professional who reconsiders the relationship between work and her personal life
Now we have generations of recallers! The videos are great depictions of real transformations! Way to go!
The instructions in the email today said to vote for my 2 favourite videos from today. I voted already for one, and cannot seem to find how I can vote for the second one. Any suggestions?
You have to vote for the two of them at the same time Anne. Once you have voted you can’t do so again unless you hijack someone else’s computer or use your phone or ipad etc. Thanks for voting!
Deborah, your video is absolutely adorable! Maestro looks so happy with his mom!!!
Thank you, and I am even happier with him.
Play, lots of play
and
education with great fun!
At our place of business only one person could vote because of the way the ip addresses are being picked up. Can something be done?
It really is limited in order to keep it fair. We will keep the poles open though so you can vote at home or on your cell phone.
Really hard to pick, all great! Can’t wait to start with Parker, what fun we will have! Thanks Susan!!!
They are all so great, and tears here to hard to choose.
Love Diane’s video!
I just had to vote for Diane Lewis, because it rings so true for me. Work, work and more work, and I always think “I just don’t have time today.” I need to make time.
Me too Deb.
That is my Lilly! The pile of toys that she sets beside me gets bigger and bigger as she tries to find something to “distract” me.
Oh my God! so difficult to vote they are all good!
AHHHH, am I emotional today or WHAT? These videos are bringing me to tears today! Tears of happiness to see people excited and having so much fun with their dogs!!! Way cool!
Yes, me too, bawling my eyes out! So inspirational – I have a dog just like what Ruby used to be, Andrea and Ruby have inspired me to sign up to recallers RIGHT NOW!!
So glad to see I’m not the only crying fool! Was ready to blame it on my upcoming need for hormone therapy. All five videos were true inspirations – it was so had d to choose. Well done to all of you!!
Oh me too. I was surprised when these videos brought tears to my eyes! And a couple of them really spoke to me.
I know! all of them made me cry too.
Made me cry too lol
Me too! Sometimes you need some inspiration! I did recaller’s 2 and loved it! Now in Contact Success and still so far behind but loving every minute of it!
