It apparently works really well with high prey drive dogs! Its also very good if you can't constantly watch for prey/dogs/people
Thats what I do too! Twiggy is the only one who is of a "breed" that doesn't stick near me naturally. What has also has helped is my dogs (except Twiggy) are off leash 90% of the time but thats obviously not safe for most dog owners
I've done A LOT of research on how to use it correctly, I totally understand how easy it is to mess up. She has recall pretty good during training in our house, so we've been conditioning it there.
I have
Yes
its probably her age plus her breed i guessThe best way to train recall I have found is not to actually train recall instead play and do fun training, build a good relationship with the dog. Then they start listening because they know working with you is great! But through adolescence their recall will look terrible until they start maturing.
I like it, and i might try it. She gets easily distracted
She's pretty typical for her pur personality so probably not lol but we'll seeBreed definitely makes a huge difference! Specially with how the recall will look, you are probably not going to consistently get a immediate fast recall
Have you played games to teach her come?
Ive never heard of tattle training. But i might do it with Tucker just as he has had a little bit of a set back again.If you want to use a e-collar then get professional help! Its extremely easy to mess it up and very difficult to fix after (of course be very careful with what trainer because their are a lot of bad trainers!).For using the e-collar you will need a recall anyway, the e-collar should be a backup not your actual recall.
She is still probably in adolescence so that will affect her recall massively don't forget that! Have you tried recall games? Throwing the treat for her? The best way to train recall I have found is not to actually train recall instead play and do fun training, build a good relationship with the dog.

I also really like tattle training/auto recall, I have seen a wide variety of people and dogs have success with it!

Your pups are adorable!!!!My girls! The Boston is 12, Cavalier and beagle/lab are 4. The Cavalier does rally, obedience, barnhunt, fastcat, cat and is learning agility. She also has all levels of CGC titles! The beagle lab mix does barnhunt and fastcat, and has CGC. My senior has done a couple fastcat fun runs and has trick titles. She has zero interest in barnhunt
These girls are all rescues but my next dog I want a standard poodle show/sport prospect!
Thats great! It might still be good because I know from my own experience, how easy it is to do tons of research and still miss important info or keep running into misinformation
. Plus a experienced second pair of eyes can really help to see whats going on or if you have missed something because body language can sometimes be very hard to see Keep going then! It always just suddenly worked one day with my dogs
What good doggies!! They are so cute! Huge Boston fan here.My girls! The Boston is 12, Cavalier and beagle/lab are 4.

Yep
I'll try those more
I am
That's true, I'm gonna talk to my 4h leaders about it tooThats great! It might still be good because I know from my own experience, how easy it is to do tons of research and still miss important info or keep running into misinformation
I will, I probably just need more patienceKeep going then! It always just suddenly worked one day with my dogs
When Shorty was at that teenage phase she suddenly stopped coming when called. I just left her standing there, and went in the house, and closed the door. A few moments later I opened it up, and she immediately ran in. Boston's don't like to leave their owners, so that was short lived for Shorty.
