Recallers 2023 Video Contest Round One
We love dog stories and if you are here, we know you love dog stories too, so you are in for a treat because we’re sharing short videos representing everyone who loves dogs and wants the best life possible with them.
Often your story with a dog might not have a fairy tale start, especially when they misbehave, ignore you, embarrass you in public and generally create frustration. And if you have ever been in that place, you are not alone.
For most of us, there will be a breaking point. That breaking point can be a moment for positive change. A time to seek out something different and finding a way to connect with the dog you love on a deeper level. A time to leave conflict behind and create a new way of communicating where you and your dog are speaking the same language.
Our dog finally listening to us is just the tip of the iceberg!
Now it might seem that it really is a fairy tale, but that transformation to connection with dogs shows beautifully in the stories that people just like you have put their hearts into creating because they want you to know that there is hope. Our world-renowned online dog training program, Recallers, will be open to join very soon, and there is no better way to show how life with dogs can transform than sharing real world stories.

Today I am grateful for everyone who loves dogs and wants them to have the best life possible.
P.S. Currently, we are running a free dog training video series called The Connected Dog, and if you’ve not already joined in, the doors are open wide and everyone is welcome.
I vote 4
I can relate.
All very well put together. It’s so nice to see how it’s bringing understanding and joy to the dogs and making life easier for their people. The one I thought was quite nice was Kirsten’s as she’s paying it forward, which is so nice to see.
All these videos inspire hope and joy! Volunteering to help others is such a beautiful ripple effect. Imagine emptying all the shelters of lost, abandoned, abused, and neglected critters being lovingly rehabilitated and adopted into forever homes. That would be a dream come true. It is happening through folks who learn this “Game-based-training and Kindness & Compassion method.” Thank you for shining the light and making these blessings flow!
All such wonderful positive outcomes , shows Susan’s training does work for not only the pets but the owners too, good luck to them all ❤️
Too hard to choose but learnt so much from Cait’s story. All those labels and more are stored in my memory and reminded me of how i went so wrong in the past. Not now. I have Susan to guide me
The story of Javier was most inspiring. Never too late or too old to learn❤️
So hard to vote because all these videos are so good!
Wow! Each is so special and individual. Recallers is changing lives one dog at a time.
They are all great, and inspiring!! Testaments to a wonderful program, Susan and her team. The love and commitment of these folks for their dogs, shines through in each video 🥰
These all brought me to tears of what a difference Susan’s curriculum has made in our lives and our pups! All beautifully and creatively presented in all these videos. kudos to all who are taking this seriously and embracing the incredibly good fortune to have discovered Susan Garret and her methodology! GO Recallers!
All are nice videos, it was hart to choose only 2. Thank you Susan for your kindness and for sharing your wonderful skills.
Wow! These videos are amazing. I especially loved to see how Kay was able to overcome the barking at another dog while walking. It gives me hope. Thank you for sharing. 🫶
I love how we all have aha moments, and each of us proceeds on this journey progress, not perfection at our own pace. The recallers community is always so willing to help all dogs and owners have a better relationship and life thanks Susan Garrett and all your team.
Great job on all videos! It’s encouraging to see progress as we continue to work through Recallers. Thank you.
All the videos are amazing and I definitely can relate to them all!!
Good Luck to all of you!!
It’s so impossible to choose!! I appreciate each video so much! They all encouraged and empowered me.
They are all wonderful stories but I particularly like Javier showing what can be achieved with an older dog. Hope for us all!
I am so grateful that I found Susan.
They are all so good. Such a hard choice
Wow! This is too difficult to decide c
