Recall Residential
Off lead. Finally.
A 5-night residential programme in London designed exclusively for sighthounds. Specialist e-collar recall training that gives your greyhound, lurcher, or whippet the freedom they were built for.
“Sighthounds can never be off lead. They’re wired to chase. It’s just the way they are.”
That’s what most people are told. It’s not true. With the right training, delivered by a specialist who understands sighthound behaviour, your dog can run freely and come back every time. We have the client results to prove it.
The Programme
Five nights. One transformation.
Specialist e-collar conditioning
We use e-collar training calibrated to each dog’s individual sensitivity level. Your sighthound learns that the recall signal always means come back, and that coming back is always worth it.
Real-world recall environments
Training happens in parks, open fields, and urban settings across North London. Your dog practises recall where it matters: around squirrels, cyclists, other dogs, and the distractions that would ordinarily set them off.
Breed-specific understanding
Sighthounds think differently from retrievers and collies. We train with that in mind — lower repetition, higher reward, and a full understanding of the prey-drive response that informs every session.
Owner handover and ongoing support
On collection day you receive a full debrief, a written protocol, and ongoing WhatsApp support. This is not a drop-off and forget arrangement — the training continues in your hands, and we’re here to help.

How It Works
From first enquiry to first off-lead run.
Enquire
Send us a brief message about your dog — breed, age, current recall situation. We’ll respond within 24 hours to confirm suitability and discuss available dates.
Book and confirm
Once we’ve confirmed a suitable date, you pay a deposit to secure the booking. We’ll send a pre-arrival questionnaire covering your dog’s routine, diet, and any quirks we should know about.
Collection and the programme
We collect your dog from your home on the agreed start date. Your dog is in our care for the full 5-night programme. You’ll receive daily updates throughout.
Handover and beyond
On day 6 we return your dog together with a full debrief, a written protocol, and the equipment settings used. WhatsApp support continues after handover for as long as you need it.
