\<em\>\<strong\>Newly Updated\!\</strong\>\</em\>
\<h2\>A reliable recall could save your dog's life\.\</h2\>
Question: Can you \<em\>really\</em\> count on your dog to come when called?

Typical answers: “Yes, he comes most of the time, as long as he’s not too far away\.” “Usually, but not if we’re outside, or if there are distractions\.” “If I show him a treat, he comes right away\!”

Translation: \<strong\>No\</strong\>, these dogs—like most—can’t be counted on to come when called\. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don’t\.

And it’s not their fault\! Dog’s aren’t born knowing they should run right for us when we call them\. And most of us are only beginning to understand how our dog’s think and learn\.

It’s our responsibility to positively train our dogs so that they respond instantaneously to a recall cue, whether you’re calling him in for dinner—or stopping him from making a mad\-dash into a busy road\.

Now available exclusively from \<em\>The Whole Dog Journal \</em\>is \<em\>The Recall: Teach Your Dog to Come When \</em\>Called\. In this life\-saving guide, our expert\-trainers and contributors show you…
\<ul\>
 	\<li\> Why it’s important to learn how your dog values his rewards, and which one’s work best\</li\>
 	\<li\>Why your dog sprints over to you in some places, but runs the other way in others\</li\>
 	\<li\>What to do if you’ve “poisoned” your recall cue and your dog just won’t respond\</li\>
\</ul\>
Available for instant download, this eBook reveals how dogs learn, and why they do what they do, so you can teach him to instantly bound towards you when called\.

\<em\>The Recall \</em\>is available ONLY from \<em\>The Whole Dog Journal\. \</em\>Set your dog up for success today… order \& download now\!

- [Resource Guarding eBook](https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/product/resource-guarding/): \<strong\>Newly Updated\!\</strong\>

It happens around his food bowl, a toy, or maybe his favorite spot in the house\.

Now, with Whole Dog Journal's \<strong\>downloadable e\-book RESOURCE GUARDING\</strong\>, you'll learn all about this frightening conduct, including the:

• Different Types \(think he's protecting you \- think again\!\)
• Warning Signs \(including his tail wagging faster\!\)

In addition, \<strong\>RESOURCE GUARDING\</strong\> will teach you how to determine the seriousness of the problem, simple management techniques, and proper behavior modification methods \(including when to call a trainer\)\.  All this plus special sections on resource guarding against other dogs, and food bowl desensitization\.

\<strong\>RESOURCE GUARDING \</strong\>is a common yet serious problem, but there are solutions\. Order your copy of this \<strong\>downloadable e\-book\</strong\> today, and learn what they are\.
