Today is the day…our Championship round of Recallers Videos! The best of the best are now competing to be in the Top THREE!
Before we begin, I want to thank everyone for their votes and feedback….we all agree these videos were great. These top seven videos, as well as each and every video in the top 15, should be incredibly proud to have made the cut out of such a large pool. Voting was sooo close during Day 2 that we decided to add three of the five videos from that day!
These journeys have touched the hearts of not only the team here at Say Yes but our dog community as a whole! At the end of the day, every person that submitted a video to us showed that they were all winners 🙂
For those of you who haven’t joined us for the other days, please make sure to go back and view the videos (Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3) Even though voting has closed for the previous days, the videos are all touching and worth the watch!
For the final day, we have the top voted on videos, out of these seven, the final three winners will receive some awesome prizes from our generous sponsors! These prizes total almost $500! A HUGE thank you to our sponsors, Zen-Tek, Tug-E-Nuff, and Back on Track! In addition we will randomly draw two people, from our more than 200 Recallers who submitted videos to our contest, who will also win the exact same prize package as our three winners! How COOL is THAT!
Here’s how YOU can be a part of the fun today!
Watch the seven videos below and vote for your 3 FAVOURITES! The decision will not be easy, all of these videos are so darn good! Voting will stay open until 12 o’clock noon on Monday June 9th. Best of luck to all of our finalist and thank you to each of you for your help with this tough decision!

Go K9Kid
No voting boxes for me either…
Now appeared after I posted the above comment.. very odd.
ok, vote area does show up after a comment is posted!
Can’t wait to use this training for my dogs!
how to vote, for #2 and #5
I would like to vote but can’t find the “Vote” button to click on.
HELP! I can’t seem to find the “button” where I can cast my vote.
Never mind!!!! Guess I need stronger glasses. :-/
Sherry has done an awesome job with these two dogs and her own. To bring two dogs back to America was certainly special. She has proved what kindness, patience, and love can do for our animals.
I couldn’t vote either.
Judy can you email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help you out
OK, I give up. Where do I vote? I meant to vote for #1, #7, and #3 in that order.
I could not find any place to do so, so I hope this will do.
Cheers,
Steve

Missed the vote but great videos!!
Susan, I think the Recallers’ philosophy is crystal clear in Nellie Marsh’s comment when I first posted my video on our Recallers FB page: “Fantastic! Look at that speed and drive when she heads off, wow! Wonderfully crazy” That’s it! Look at the great stuff going on, not the stuff you want to “fix.” Congratulations to every single person who made a video to celebrate their dogs, their training, and themselves! And to everyone who joins you in Do-land!
To make a vote worthy video:
Please! NO music at all
actual VIDEOS, not just still photos
SPEAK in the video
Show the before and after of a dog that does not care to participate, to one that does.
Sharon’s video had me in tears… You can see the passion she has about her dogs through the polished nature of her video. Not to mention how ADORABLE her jack is!! How can anyone resist that cute little crooked jaw? AW my heart just melts . Love it. She deserves victory
Loved every video over the 3 days, congrats to everyone in the final, all great 🙂
Oh My! I loved them all. Some of them I laughed with and some I cried with…. what a hard choice! They are all winners. Not only can they all train their dogs they are amazing with their video mastery!!
Never mind, after I posted the last comment, the voting boxes reappeared =)
I accidentally clicked on the results button before I voted, and now I can’t get to the boxes to vote. Is there a way to do that? Thanks!
I do not envy you having to pick these videos at all, I always love watching them – but it’s always difficult to make my pick. Fingers crossed everyone!
Now that I have voted I’m trying to remember what the criteria was for getting my vote. Was I supposed to look for the learning aspect, creativity, story telling, comparisons, or the several hundred other things that were there? So much is put into each video it’s hard to compare them against each other.
Lisa, voting from your heart is more than fine by us!
Susan and Recallers, Thank you for sharing your stories.
It has been really interesting listening to the commentaries and watching the videos. It is amazing to see the relationships that are being/have been developed. Good luck to everyone on their continued journey.
I think #4 showed the “how to” best and #7 would make a great Commercial.
They were all very good and I do not envy your job of picking the winner. I know it is easier to let us vote, but in the end I think you should make the choice.
Susan and Recallers, Thanks for sharing your stories. It is really interesting to listen to the commentaries and watch the videos. What amazing transformations some teams have had. Good luck to everyone on their continued journeys.
All were great!! My vote went to the person I felt we dealt the biggest challenge, that of working with a dog who had been a research animal for it’s first 2 years. Really great results with that pup!! Hats off to all of you! Wonderful training and great videos!!
They all had good points, but loved the stories from start to success. Thanks.
Done. I voted. But like everyone else, it was hard to decide which ones are the best. They are all well put together. I have selected for the videos that bring across the message of the “Say Yes” method the best. So, putting aside the emotional tugs of some of the rescue dog stories, I have looked at the most convincing promotion of the teaching method itself.
Good luck to all.
All are such fun to watch and so inspiring. I’m on board with my little runaway, Nell, next time!
Wow! That was tougher than I thought it would be. While I enjoyed some of the videos more than others as they were cleverly done. I tried to vote for the videos where the training was truly life changing for both the dogs and owners. As Susan mentioned everyone was a winner. Kudos to all the hard work for the participants of the recallers games and to Susan for instituting a program that works for all dogs regardless of whether they ever see the inside of the ring or not! Click…Treat! Well done!
