Hi there,

I used a training method called the Really Reliable Recall and that worked well for my two dogs (not always in the face of a squirrel but 90% of the time they come running right away). It would take awhile to type it out, so I've found a website that details the training method.

I hope this helps. I always used jars of baby food, it works great! I would not advocate the use of a shock collar every. It will make her scared and much less likely to return to you.

Your welcome. I can say it works very well if you are diligent with your training. It worked very well for my dog.

Great, I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. Please rate my answer and click submit so that I can receive credit for my time.

I would not recommend using bacon. It is very high sodium and high fat, and can lead to serious stomach upset or pancreatitis. Try jars of baby food, they are easy to use for this training method.

I use the meat varieties, but vegetables are okay as well. It's easy to use, just let them lick out of the jar.

Good luck.
