In today's interview, I speak with Lisa Lyle Waggoner, author of The Original Rocket Recall. We chat about building strong relationships and recall with your dog.Having a dog who can be off leash and have a reliable recall is the holy grail of dog training. While it's something that many of us aspire to, it's not always safe. Sometimes a dog being off leash is dangerous because of the risk of cars, predators, or bodies of water. Sometimes it's unsafe because a dog who is following their instinctual hunting behavior means that they take off...and dogs repeat what they practice.I was in conflict. Should I let my dog be off leash in nature or should I make sure he is safe? I discuss these issues, along with fun games that can build strong relationships with you and your dog.Resources and Mentions:12 Rules of Rocket Recall - a free resource from LisaThe Original Rocket Recall book, by Lisa Lyle WaggonerCold Nose CollegeTrailblazing Tails - the BEST leashes and longlinesSarah Stremming - The Cog Dog PodcastGrisha Stewart - Adjust Your Leash LengthThe Pooch Parenting Society - a supportive membership for parents with dogs where I share training games, training tips and live Q/A'sThe Pooch Parenting Coach Collective - a membership for dog professionals who want to build their confidence so they can take on more clients who have children
