Emergency Recall Workshop

Recall Rescue: Your Dog’s Safety Starts Here

Does your dog ignore you when it’s time to leave the park?

If calling your dog means starting a chase—or ends in frustration—this four-week Emergency Recall Workshop is for you.

Join Raintown Founder Kris Hampton to build a lightning-fast, reliable recall that your dog responds to with joy and speed.

Dogs must be fixed and play well with others to participate.

Up to 6 dogs per class (+ two trainers)

Classes (each 45-minutes long) take place online via Google Meet, indoors in Olympic Village, and outdoors in Kitsilano.
