I demonstrated with a darling Australian Shepherd mix. Teaching a reliable recall is necessary for your dog’s safety. Unless a dog has a reliable recall, he will never be able to enjoy off leash play. This exercise can be taught to any dog, no matter what age or breed. I teach from the outline below over a six-week class. Read more here Previous Feature Articles... Softball for Dog Training!

American Eskimo Recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1913, the American Eskimo is a member of the ancient and wide ranging Spitz family of dogs. White Spitzes were popular in Pomerania and in the coastal regions of Germany. Sailors traded the white dogs throughout Europe. When Queen Charlotte of England acquired several white Spitzes, the dogs became fashionable among British aristocrats. White Spitzes appear in several Gainsborough paintings. Known as the German Spitz in its homeland, the breed was renamed the American Eskimo in 1917.
