There is something sweet and joyous about calling dogs to you who love to come running. On our daily walks in the country, it is important to have a strong recall, if they get too far ahead of us, they might run into the woods, eat something unhealthy, get too close to an oncoming car or truck. If they get more than a few hundred feet from us, we have a command: “hey dogs!”, reinforced with enthusiastic voices, hugs and praise, occasional treats. It is always an uplifting thing to see Lenore and Red come running, to Maria, to me.
