How to Teach an Emergency Recall That Could Save Your Dog’s Life

What happens if your dog is already chasing something and you NEED them to stop? In this video, I’ll show you how to teach an emergency recall, or what I call an “emergency brake,” for those moments when normal recall isn’t enough. You’ll see me work with my Australian Shepherd using one of her biggest distractions: a frisbee. I’ll break down how I taught her to immediately disengage, stop the chase, and respond to an emergency cue even after she’s already committed to going after it. In this video, you'll learn: • What an emergency brake is and how it differs from normal recall • How to introduce the emergency cue • How to build reliability before adding distractions • How to practice around increasingly difficult distractions • Why you should train this BEFORE you ever actually need it A reliable recall is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog, but sometimes you need something reserved specifically for emergencies. 🐾 Need help training your dog?
