In this episode of the Think Like a Dog podcast, Andreia and Millie break down what reliable recall actually means, and why most dogs aren’t truly off-leash trained. They explain why recall must start on leash, how inconsistent expectations and rushed freedom lead to failure, and why practicing in multiple environments is non-negotiable.

The conversation also explores the role of thresholds, such as doors, crates, cars, and gates, and how these everyday moments shape impulse control, safety, and overall behavior. Andreia and Millie emphasize that structure creates clarity, and clarity creates freedom. This episode challenges common myths around off-leash training and helps listeners understand the responsibility that comes with giving dogs real-world freedom.
