»Now, I can trust him off-leash, and our walks are so much more enjoyable and stress-free.«

With my youngest dog, Tide, I faced a completely new challenge. Unlike my previous female dogs, who stayed close naturally, Tide had his own ideas about running off and exploring by himself. A Reliable Recall was exactly what I needed. It helped me understand his adventurous nature and gave me the tools to build a recall that works—even with his independent streak. Now, I can trust him off-leash, and our walks are so much more enjoyable and stress-free.This course is a must for anyone seeking trust, safety, and joy in off-leash adventures.

»Our recall got a 100 times better. On walks she now comes when called and actually comes to check on me from time to time, all by herself!«

When I got my puppy she was all over the place. She didn’t care about me, didn’t care about food, or playing with me. Walks were a big struggle; my dog would pull while on leash, and run around and have fun by herself while off leash. Chasing the Tale helped me understand my dog more. With their help our relationship grew. My dog is now obsessed with playing with me and would choose playing with me over playing by herself.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

Has the Recall Turned Into a Struggle Instead of a Moment of Trust and Connection?

Here’s why the way you’re going about things is keeping you stuck:

Giving Too Much Freedom Too Soon – Letting your dog off-leash and granting full freedom before they are properly trained can backfire. Your dog may learn to ignore your calls, thinking freedom comes without boundaries. True freedom is about gradually building their skills and trust through training to ensure they’re ready for that responsibility.

Calling at the Wrong Moments – Calling your dog out of situations where they’re unlikely to respond – like playing with another dog or chasing wildlife – teaches them that your command is optional, weakening your recall cue.

Repeatedly Calling a Dog Who Doesn’t Listen – This weakens your recall. Each time your dog ignores your call and continues their behavior, your recall cue loses value, becoming just background noise. This not only makes recall training more challenging but also harms your relationship and the overall effectiveness of your commands.

Competing With Overwhelming Distractions – High-value distractions like other dogs, smells, or wildlife can make owners feel invisible to their dog. The lack of focus undermines your confidence and creates a disconnect in your relationship.

Expecting Immediate Results – Many owners expect quick progress with recall training, but it’s a skill that takes time to build and generalize. When results don’t come immediately, it can lead to discouragement, affecting both confidence and motivation.

Confusing or Overusing Commands – Using your dog’s name for multiple purposes without clear cues can confuse them, especially in outdoor settings. This inconsistency makes it harder for them to understand what you want.

Using Authority, Dominance, and Yelling – This approach creates confusion, fear, and damages trust. Some believe that authority and yelling will make an untrained dog listen, but recall should be a positive experience. Dogs are more likely to respond when recall is enjoyable and associated with positive reinforcement, not fear or force.

👌 BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH:

Recall Training Unlocks More Than Obedience – It Creates Freedom and Connection.

So, what made all the difference for us and the dog owners we’ve worked with?

With over 15 years of experience training dogs and working with owners worldwide, we’ve seen how a reliable recall doesn’t just transform your dog’s behaviour but also the bond you share with them, and we’ve seen it firsthand.

We know how frustrating it can be when your dog prioritises distractions over you.

Contrary to popular belief, training doesn’t take away a dog’s freedom – it enables it.

We realised that true freedom for a dog isn’t about giving them full autonomy from the start – it’s about teaching them the skills they need to handle that freedom responsibly. 

Our dogs know they can roam, sniff, and explore safely because they understand the rules we’ve built together.

And for us, the joy comes in trusting that they’ll return when called.

Dogs don’t ignore us out of spite or stubbornness – they simply follow what feels most rewarding or engaging in the moment.

When you understand this, you step on the same page as them and start working against the problem together.

Recognising what drives them in the environment will help you pick the right battles and set them up for success every step of the way. 

This way you can make them want to come back to you almost automatically – regardless of what’s happening around them. 

This shift in understanding has opened the door to freedom and trust for us and countless others who once faced similar challenges.

We’ve helped owners who felt frustrated, anxious, or even embarrassed when their dog ignored their calls – worried about their dog’s safety or feeling judged by others.

And we’ve seen how dogs without recall skills missed out on the freedom, outdoor adventures, and the joy of exploration – all because their owners couldn’t trust them off-leash.

From dogs who prioritise distractions over anything in life to those born as adventurers…

We’ve helped fulfil their needs and transform their relationships with their owners.

We’ve shown that a reliable recall isn’t just achievable – it’s life-changing.

👇Here’s the bottom line: 

Without a reliable recall, you’re not only risking your dog’s safety but also missing out on the freedom, trust, and joy that come from exploring the world together.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to stay this way. 

With the right approach, you can break free from the frustration and anxiety of your dog not listening when called. 

You’ll gain confidence in your dog’s ability to respond every time, even around distractions, and create a bond rooted in trust and mutual understanding.

WE’RE HERE TO TELL YOU:

This Isn’t Just About Having a Reliable Recall - It’s About Experiencing Life Together, Without Limits.

But only with the right training in place!

Achieve Peace of Mind by knowing your dog will return every time you call them – leaving anxiety behind and allowing you to relax during off-leash adventures.

Say Goodbye to the Embarrassment of shouting or bribing your dog in public and replace it with confidence – knowing they will respond reliably every time.

Break Through Common Distractions by teaching your dog to listen to your recall, even in the face of challenges such as other dogs, wildlife, or tempting smells.

Build Mutual Trust and Connection – Create a partnership where your dog is motivated to respond to you, strengthening your bond through mutual respect and understanding.

Prevent Common Recall Mistakes – Avoid recalling your dog from situations where they are likely to fail, expecting too much too soon, or using punishment, all of which weaken your dog’s response – ensuring consistent results and eliminating frustration from your training journey.

Adjust Training to Match Your Dog’s Needs, ensuring they stay responsive in all environments – whether at the park, on a trail, or in your backyard, you’ll feel confident and connected with your dog.

Give Your Dog (And Yourself) True Freedom, allowing them to explore and roam safely – while you feel proud of the skills you’ve built together to keep them happy, fulfilled and secure when off-leash.

Empowering Dog Owners Worldwide:

»The best thing is that I‘ve gained a deeper understanding of dog training in general.«

Reading and exercising all those lessons have enabled me to overcome obstacles and problems I‘ve faced when working with my dogs. I now often look at dog training differently or notice things in my or my dogs‘ behaviour I didn’t notice before.

»Today, Juno thinks about what we want, not what her urges are.«

We had no idea what we were getting into when we first got our Australian Shepherd puppy. For the first two months, we were like zombies, we were waking up in the middle of the night, she was dragging us around when we went for walkies and she demanded all the attention a pup could get. Luckily, we discovered Chasing the Tale classes that helped us really understand what it meant to be her. How she thinks, what drives her, and more. Within a month, with steady training, we have seen such a tangible change. Juno started to think about what we want, not what her urges were.

Our story

Chasing the Tale’s ideology is that dogs can be much more than just a pet if only we nurture their true potential with consistent, enjoyable, and clear training.

By ‘more than just a pet’ we mean that your dog can be your friend, your family member, your loyal companion, and more. We believe that dogs can make our everyday lives more fun and fulfilling with their happy attitude and contagious outlook on life.

Chasing the Tale is about creating stories with your dog and it is about adventure!

That being said, we should never forget what sparks the fire in our own dog’s! Always look at the dog in front of you and adapt your adventures to their specific needs and wants.

The goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves, together! The adventure need not be grand, as long as you make it your own – even if that means relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, going to a drive-in movie theatre, grabbing a coffee in the city or taking a refreshing swim in the lake.

All in all, the mission of Chasing the Tale is to encourage more dog owners to take their dogs with them on their adventures – and most importantly, show them how easy it can be with a well-mannered dog! With all of this in mind, Chasing the Tale Academy was born.

»He gets some time to sniff, run around as he wants.«

I’m so happy that walking my dog is a relationship building activity. He gets some time to sniff, run around as he wants, but then also to engage and work some tricks that make him (and me) feel very happy and proud. Absolutely great things to practice do with a working breed to satisfy some of their mental needs.

What Makes Reliable Recalls a One-of-a-Kind Course?

Reliable Recalls isn’t just another training program – it’s a thoughtful approach designed to fit your dog’s unique personality. Whether they’re super independent, easily distracted, love saying hi to everyone, or can’t resist chasing wildlife, this course meets them where they are at.

Don’t Like Using Food or Toys as Bribes?

We get it – no one wants to feel like they’re bribing their dog. Or rely on carrying food around for the rest of their lives. That’s why our approach focuses on rewarding the behaviour we want to see, not bribing for compliance.

Bottom Line…

If you’re a dog owner struggling to get your dog to come back when called, feeling frustrated and worried about their safety…

If your dog seems more interested in exploring on their own, leaving you anxious and unsure whether to let them off-leash at all…

Or if your dog is friendly and high-energy but runs to everyone they see, making you feel embarrassed and out of control on walks, the Reliable Recalls course is the solution you’ve been looking for.

This course is perfect if you want to build trust, confidence, and a strong foundation for the recall – ensuring your dog listens no matter the situation, distraction or environment.

After all, every dog deserves the freedom to roam safely, and every owner deserves the peace of mind that comes with a reliable recall.

You have three options:

1.

Keep doing the things you’ve always done. Maybe that works for you, and if so, that’s okay – this course isn’t for everyone. But if your current approach isn’t working, it’s worth asking yourself: how much longer do I want to feel stuck or frustrated?

2.

Join the Reliable Recalls course and experience the freedom of off-leash adventures with your dog. We know that choosing to invest in your dog’s training is no small decision, and we don’t take your trust lightly.

Whether you join today or take more time to decide, we want to express our gratitude for the trust you’ve already shown by exploring this opportunity for you and your dog.

Avoid making a decision and stay stuck, wondering what could have been. Putting it off may seem easier now, but deep down, you know that nothing changes until you take action.

Whatever you choose, I encourage you to take action, because there’s no worse feeling than being stuck.

Here’s to making walks more joyful, adventures more freeing, and the bond with your dog stronger than ever before.

I hope we make it happen together.
