Once you have taught your dog a recall cue you will want to practice with each member of the family. A fun game you can play is called Ping Pong.

To start, make sure every member of the family has some tasty treats, or toys if your dog prefers to play. Take it in turns to call your dog using their recall word. After calling, wait for your dog to run over, before marking and rewarding them with a tasty treat or play with a toy. When you’ve finished, another member of your family calls your dog to them before marking and rewarding in the same way.

The person who calls your dog is the one to reward each time. Set up for success by making sure that everyone has the same value rewards.

This game is a lot of fun for everyone to practice and helps to build a reliable recall.
