You have WOWed us!
Over 29,000 dog lovers have received a Recallers Guest Pass to Recallers Critical Core over the past few weeks. What is even more amazing is just how many of you have taken the time to share with us how much you love Recallers Critical Core, the learning, the community, and the transformations you are starting to see.
Recallers Dogs and their people stand out … the joy they have being together is noticeable. Some may even think we are just a little crazy when they see us playing games and laughing with our dogs!
Transformational Journeys
Late last week had our first Live Training session for Recallers and were thrilled that our Guest Pass holders and Recallers alike jumped at the chance to join us! The takeaways from the session were shared with us on our Facebook page … here are just some of their insights:
“Compare what you had yesterday with what you have today. And celebrate!”
“This works! After 3 different training classes (12 weeks total) my dog has learned much more in the last 2 weeks and we are both having fun!”
“My biggest takeaway is that the more fun I can make ‘training’ the better relationship I can have with my dogs. And it’s not just for performance but for just everyday living!”
“Watching the “Wow” game and really seeing how one behaviour really builds onto the next. Being sure to have a good foundation before expecting your dog to do something that he might not be ready for. Train for success!”
“My biggest takeaway after seeing the webinar is a greater appreciation Susan’s training methods. She reminded everyone that her dogs are pets first, agility competitors a distant second. That was a great reminder of putting things into perspective, and why it is so important to build solid foundations with our dogs. These are family pets, and it isn’t worth cutting corners. The real treasure is in the relationship established, which Swagger and Mag did a great job showcasing during the webinar.”
“Arousal! That was my aha moment of the webinar. I definitely need to up my own excitement level when training. I could really see how excited Susan’s dogs got when she was playing with them and they really wanted to play back. Really wonderful!”
“Don’t try to put the roof on your training “house” before you have the foundation in place!”
“Patience! Susan’s work with the pointer showed me that I get impatient and give up too easily. I don’t get thrilled in the small steps forward with my dog.”
“The fabulous focus your dog’s have is not because of your teaching them a focus cue, but because of all the games you play with them!”
“Compare my dog today to the dog she was yesterday instead of comparing her to dogs like Swagger or Momentum! “
“Demonstrating the difference between celebrating “wins” with a puppy and removing reward for “mistakes” – the reality of what that looks like.”
“I think it’s great that I don’t have to use a different training method for each dog! Easy peasy!”
“It is all about fun and loving your dog.”
If you missed the Live Training Session, don’t worry, the RePlay is available within Recallers until tonight (Monday July 20th) at midnight for our Guests (and for the next 12 months for our members).
As we move towards rolling out the rest of our transformational games it is a good time to revisit a video from some time ago … to honour the many stores of success that have been shared with us by our Recallers family.
Recallers registration is filling quickly as our community is keen to start. We have Recallers Full Membership Upgrades available now, but only until the rest of today…that is midnight tonight, Monday July 20th, we close registrations and get to the FUN business of coaching our latest group of amazing Recallers students!
Today I am grateful for Recallers Dogs world wide, and for the amazing people who love them!
I have tried to teach these principles in the basics for a long time, where I got them from other trainers who got them from you. I never spent as much time trying to learn them as I have. I reread and watch the videos numerous times. Each time I see something that I wasn’t demanding enough clarity. I am doing it also with my husbands sheltie who is smart and a great agility dog but spoiled as he has never wanted to listen to me pass things on. I can not believe it, tho I am doing this super slow, they are learning. They have stopped and spun around when there have been squirrels, other distractions and come running. My emergency recall at a distance has always been a sharp whistle (used once). I RARELY have to resort to that now. It is so exciting and I know I am not probably doing them exactly right as I would if you were standing over my shoulder but I am getting it and so are they. WE haven’t played agility only a handful of times in the last year. Last nite we went to practice and I could not believe the difference and excitement that my collie had and how well we did.
This course is definetly worth the time and money and I am only starting to enter module 3. 🙂
Thanks

Love the video! Amazing number of people in Freecallers. I hope a lot of them decide to join.
I first did Recallers back in 2011, and absolutely loved it. The result was amazing, and it completely changed how I train dogs forever (and I was already using positive methods). I’ve done Recallers every year since then.
Just wanted to help talk people into joining if they are still on the fence. It’s the best online dog training course I’ve done, and it’s totally worth the money 🙂
Arousal was the aha moment! I tend to be so serious that my dog isn’t aroused and is easily distracted! I need more excitement in my own game! Was at the dog park tonight and was excited and animated when calling my Aussie from across the field! He bolted my way and I rewarded him with being happy and excited and letting him be happy! So excited to be a recaller!! Working on day 3 of critical core tomorrow. I want to look at everything but know it is a process and need to go step by step! Thanks again!!!
Beautiful video!Thanks for sharing.I’m grateful for the invitation to the freecallers and I am enjoy playing and learning to build foundations with my dogs. They are having much fun too! One day, I will be able to progress into the Recallers program. And we will continue to grow together.
Thanks so much!
Building relationship is the heart of it! Can’t wait to get started with my third Recallers! A friend of mine is a professional dog photographyer. She wanted some pictures showcasing “Relationship” between dogs and owners. So she asked me to pick any one of my dogs and come for a free photo shoot! I took Cash to meet her at the park and we had a great time. She got all the shots she needed in about an hour and she is thrilled. Our cookie will be some gorgeous prints of Cash and me. Thanks, Say Yes! and Susan Garrett for helping me build a relationship with my dogs that shines thru in all that we do!
