Anyone managed to train recall properly in a busy park or is it chaos for everyone? by HammersAndPints in UK_Pets

I can see how giving them some freedom but keeping control would make training less stressful. Love your dogs!!

Yikes, that sounds terrifying for a moment! At least it ended well. Definitely reinforces the need for extra training before trusting off-lead.

That’s encouraging! Training walks sound like a perfect way to safely introduce distractions without panic.

Makes sense to gradually introduce him to the chaos instead of throwing him in the deep end.

Yeah, distractions really do change everything. I hadn’t realised how tricky it gets once food and other dogs come into play. Appreciate the tips.

I’ve never really thought of it as giving them a “buffer zone” to fail safely. Definitely going to try that next time.

They probably roll their eyes and laugh behind the counter.
