“A reliable recall is one of the greatest gifts you can give your beloved canine companion, allowing him to stay safe while having much greater freedom and many more opportunities to explore his world, without the annoying, constant constraint of a leash. Lisa Waggoner's The Original Rocket Recall™ book is an incredibly valuable gift to the dog-loving world, sharing sound, scientific, and effective positive reinforcement-based methods that can only strengthen relationships between dogs and their humans, and enhance the quality of life for both. Lisa is a superb teacher and trainer and an excellent writer. This book deserves to be read and put into practice by everyone who wants to give their dogs the best life possible.”
Pat Miller, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, renowned dog trainer and author

“ The Original Rocket Recall™ is a complete training manual that every dog owner and professional trainer should memorize. My favorite parts were when Waggoner talks about her own dogs and the challenges she encountered and then overcame. The training games are fun, and the Quick Reference Guide is a winner—for the non-professional trainer or new dog owner it will be invaluable”. Eva Shaw, PhD, Author of The Seer

Lisa Waggoner’s clear, methodical instructions guaranteed training was fun for both of us and assured us of success. Rocket Recall™ taught me how to become my dog’s best friend. Sharon Coogle, proud Cold Nose College Graduate

Very informative and I feel would be easy to understand for anyone just learning the basics of dog training. I decided to read this book to learn another way of teaching recall. I love the positive approach with the intent to make training fun for both handler and dog. I think this is a wonderful tool and reference to have on the bookshelf of any dog owner.
