Does your dog run off, ignore you at the park, or treat “come!” as a suggestion? You are not alone!
At Eazy Dog Training, we help Sydney dogs and their owners build a recall you can actually trust — through our 8-week private Recall Training Program or private in-home recall training sessions.
If you’d prefer private recall training at your own home, you can enquire here!
Our approach is based on positive reinforcement, motivation and step-by-step distraction training. Every lesson is game-based and held during a walk in a park, with homework games to practise between sessions. We start in quieter spots and gradually build to busier areas, so your dog chooses to come back, every time.
Not suitable for reactive or aggressive dogs, please check our reactivity training instead!
Every recall training lesson is game-based, so your dog learns that coming back is the best fun in the park.
Each week adds a little more distance and distraction, and you’ll go home with homework to practise.

Not sure which recall training option suits you and your dog?
Here’s a quick guide:
The Reliable Recall Workshop is a $99 one-off group session — the fastest way to get practical recall techniques you can use straight away. It’s ideal if you want a quick, hands-on start without a multi-week commitment.
Our other group training classes that also cover recall, just as our Obedience or Teen Dog Classes are the best option if recall is only one of several obedience issues you’re working on. These multi-week classes cover real-life obedience, including recall, focus, loose-lead walking, and settling — great value if your dog needs a broader foundation in obedience training alongside a reliable come-when-called. Pricing starts from $280 for a 4-week class.
The 8-Week Recall Program is our most complete recall training option — 8 private, game-based lessons in a quiet area of a public park, with homework each week, building step by step from the foundations to reliable off-lead recall. It’s ideal if recall is your dog’s main issue and you want a recall you can truly trust.
Private Home Recall Training brings the training to you — a trainer works with you and your dog in your own home and the outdoor environments where recall actually matters. This is the right choice if your dog is reactive or anxious, if previous training hasn’t worked, or if you need training in your own neighbourhood.
Still not sure which is right for your dog? Contact us and we’ll help you choose.
Dogs do what’s most rewarding for them. At the park, the environment with smells, people, birds and other dogs is often more exciting than coming back to you. Your dog isn’t being stubborn – they just haven’t learned yet that coming back pays off.
Sometimes recall has also become a negative thing for the dog, which causes them to actively avoid coming back – we will educate you on all this during recall training with us!
The good news is that a reliable recall can be trained with the right rewards, plenty of practice, and gradually adding distractions.
It depends on your dog, their reinforcement history for not coming back and how much practice you put in. Most dogs improve quickly once owners learn the right techniques, but a recall you can trust in busy places is built over weeks of consistent practice. That’s why our program runs for 8 weeks, with homework between lessons.
All 8-week program lessons are held during walks in the more quiet areas of Sydney Park, or another nearby public park deemed suitable by the trainer, based on the starting point and progress. We want to start somewhere calm and gradually progress to busier areas as your dog improves.
Our recall workshop is held in an indoor location in Marrickville.
The 8-week program runs Monday to Friday, both during and outside office hours. There’s no weekend availability for this program as weekends at parks are way too busy for successful recall training. We’ll email you available times two weeks at a time.
Not straight away. We start on a long line so your dog can practise safely while learning. As their recall becomes more reliable, we move to off-lead practice based on progress.
Unfortunately, this program isn’t suitable for reactive dogs, as we train in a public park, and reactive dogs often don’t cope well in parks with triggers around. A better recall training option would then be private in-home training at your home so you can start working on the foundation.
If your dog barks, lunges or growls at other dogs or people, our 8-Week Reactive Dog Training Program is the best place to start. It helps your dog feel calmer around their triggers first, which makes recall training much more successful as well.
The $99 Recall Workshop is a one-off group session for a quick, practical start. Our Obedience and Teen Dog Classes cover recall alongside other skills like loose-lead walking and focus. The 8-Week Recall Program is private, one-on-one training focused solely on recall, building step by step to a recall you can trust off-leash.
Expert Trainers: Our experienced trainers will guide you through positive, effective techniques tailored to your dog’s recall training needs.
Did you know that all of us at Eazy Dog Training compete with our own dogs? That means we regularly need our dogs off-lead in high-distraction environments without worrying they’ll run off or not come back. We’ll show you how to achieve this too!
Group or Private – Your Choice: Join a small group workshop or a 4-week class with personalised attention, or choose one-on-one private training through our 8-Week Recall Program or in-home sessions.
Real Results: You’ll see improvement in your dog’s recall right away, and our step-by-step approach builds a recall that lasts.
Confidence in Any Situation: We focus on real-life training, so your dog learns to come back in different environments, even with distractions.
Fun & Game-Based: Our training is designed to be enjoyable for both you and your dog, building a stronger bond while improving behaviour.
Whether your dog ignores you completely or just takes their time coming back, our recall training teaches you how to build a reliable come-when-called, so you can enjoy off-lead walks without the anxiety.
Recall – the ability to have your dog come back to you when called- is by far the most important and often the most difficult command to train. A reliable recall means that your dog will choose to come to you every time when called.
The key to understanding this is to look at the situation from the dog’s point of view. The most common situation where we call our dog is on a walk when the dog is off-leash. This is often the most exciting part of their day, with many different things to see and experience. There are other dogs to play with, people, birds, smells, etc., around them and the freedom to roam wherever they want to. Would you choose to be on the lead instead?
Dogs choose to do what is most rewarding for them.
So, a dog ignoring your recall command at the off-lead park simply finds it more rewarding to continue playing and exploring than it is to obey the command. Dogs, just like people, are constantly weighing up the costs and benefits of their behaviour. To succeed in recall training, we must be more exciting and more rewarding than anything else around. And this is the reason so many dog owners find recall training challenging.
Lucky for us, reliable recall can be trained. It’s a combination of using the right kind of reward that motivates your dog to come back to you, practises that focus on making it successful for your dog to choose you over other things and controlling the environment, better known as distraction training.
Our recall training options teach you how to motivate your dog to come back to you every time when called, how to train a reliable recall step by step and how to add distractions to your training. We will start with management and work our way towards off-leash recall.
