My American Foxhound's recall is pretty solid, but it took a while to get there. Initially, he would get distracted by smells and other dogs, but with consistent training, he improved significantly. It's important to practice in different environments to reinforce that behavior.

I can relate, my American Foxhound was a challenge at first. He's reliable now, but we had to work hard at it. Making recall fun with treats and praise helped, as they can be a bit stubborn, especially when they catch a scent.

My recall has gotten much better over time. I started by training in a fenced area, gradually moving to open spaces. Foxhounds can be easily distracted, but consistency is key in getting their attention back.

I’d say mine is pretty good now. Initially, it was hit or miss because they are so curious by nature. But with consistent practice, he knows to come back, especially if there’s a high-value treat involved.

My American Foxhound's recall is something I’ve worked hard on. They can be very independent and drawn to scents, which makes it tricky sometimes. We sometimes practice with a long line to reinforce the command, and it really helps.

It's decent. He comes when called most of the time.
