Emergency Recall Intensive

Reliable Recall When It Matters Most

Does your dog suddenly forget their name at the park?

If calling your dog means starting a chase game or leaving the park frustrated, this four-week Emergency Recall Workshop is for you.

Join Raintown Founder and Senior Trainer Kris Hampton to build a lightning-fast and reliable recall that holds up around real-world distractions. Through structured training in multiple environments, this class bridges the gap between the living room and the park, so your dog responds when it matters most.

Recall is more than a cue; it’s safety.

Dogs must be fixed and able to work and play comfortably around other dogs to participate.

The Classes

Up to 6 dogs per class (+ one-two trainers)

Classes (each 45-minutes long) take place in multiple locations, including online, indoors in Olympic Village, and outdoors in Kitsilano.
