Fetch in wild neighborhood

Visually, olfactorily, acoustically... the temptations on shared excursions through nature can be varied and numerous; there is almost always something exciting for the eyes, nose, and ears to perceive. All these temptations want to entice the dog's brain to indulge in them, and the dog along with it. In a flash, it has disappeared into the "wild" depths – only a recall with a substantial training and reward history can guide it back to its lonely human companion.
Recall, when the dog's nose is sniffing out a fragrant rabbit scent? Recall, when the eyes are following a temptingly swaying deer's rear? Recall, when the ears want to get to the bottom of a pheasant's crow? We want to scrutinize recall options: recall for all occasions. And we want to show training methods: coming when called in all "wild" matters. In a duet, recall works with waiting when faced with game in all its aggregate states, which we also want to look at. With a reliable recall, both dog and human benefit equally and can indulge their thoughts and senses without losing their connection.

Anja Fiedler explains,
• what makes training in "wild" neighborhoods so demanding for the dog's brain,
• what recall options there are,
• why and how rewards motivate coming when called,
• when it makes sense to break down the behavioral chain of coming when called,
• how it gets progressively "wilder" on the shared training path,
• why consolidating and generalizing recall only work together,
• how waiting enriches coming when called, and
• what role canine well-being plays in training.
