Total Recall Summary

Total Recall: Perfect Response Training for Puppies and Adult Dogs by Pippa Mattinson

The international bestselling book from renowned dog training expert Pippa Mattinson.
The definitive dog and puppy training manual - easy to read and designed to help all dog owners with one simple but overwhelming problem: their dog won't come back when they call him or her!
The book is divided into three parts:
  1. Preparation: all the information you'll ever need in order to prepare and support yourself and your dog as you work through the training programme, including information on how your dog learns, practical training with rewards and beyond training.
  2. A detailed Recall Training Programme complete with exercises to work through. In other words, the 'how to' section of the book where you'll learn puppy recall; pre-recall for older dogs; basic recall; on location training and ultimately recall for life.
  3. The problem solving section, where you can discover why you got into difficulties in the past and learn how to avoid making the same mistakes again in the future. Enjoy your training journey, improve your relationship and have fun with your dog!

A must-have book for all dog owners!

Total Recall Reviews

I've no hesitation in recommending Total Recall to anyone setting out on training a puppy for the first time, or even the tenth time. It is a book that is likely both to change attitudes and lead to more sympathetic training, which is no bad thing.
This book explains everything you need to know about the recall, from how and when to effectively reward your dog, to keeping yourself motivated to keep up the training, as well as a series of progressive exercises. Checklists are included at the end of each stage to help you assess whether you are ready to move on to the next. There are troubleshooting sections covering problems such as your dog returning to you but not coming close enough to be caught, and how to detect early warning signings that all is not well with your recall. Rating 10/10
The book's strength lies in clear, engaging writing and, in particular, in its structured exercises designed to build a recall from scratch.
If you have a dog who doesn't really think you're that important and refuses to come back when called, this is definitely a book for you. The whole publication is focused specifically on recall, in various situations, and has many useful tips on what you need to help train your dog, as well as a section on how dogs learn and what techniques you should avoid using ... It is filled with good simple advice which will make training your dog a lot easier. Definitely recommended... * Shooting & Conservation Magazine *
This is a detailed reference and guide to canine behaviour and dog training... with the inclusion of a helpful problem-solving section, nothing is left to chance.
