If you’ve ever felt like your dog suddenly “forgets” their name the second you say “come,” this video is for you. In this training vlog, I’m sharing the fast, simple recall method that helped me teach my Maltipoo, Rosco, to come when called as a first-time dog owner. I keep it super positive and reward-based, and I show how I use both treats and toys to make coming back to me the best choice. I walk through the basics of setting your dog up for success (starting easy, keeping it fun, and not calling them just to end the party), and I also talk about why a long leash is such a game-changer for practice—especially when you’re outside and distractions are everywhere. The biggest takeaway: recall isn’t about “being strict,” it’s about building a habit where your dog thinks, “Oh yes—running to my human pays!” If you’re working on a Maltipoo (or any puppy/dog), this is an easy place to start and a skill you’ll use forever.
