Struggling With Recall? You’re Not Alone. 
Watch this 30-minute session to understand why your gundog’s recall breaks down — and how to fix it with confidence, calm, and real-world tools.
Even the most well-trained dogs can “forget” their recall when faced with countryside distractions — it’s not stubbornness, it’s just unproofed learning.
In this session, Jo and expert trainer Gemma Martin break down what’s really going on when recall fails, and walk you through practical steps to:
Train for the unexpected
Reinforce recall in real-life settings
Make yourself more exciting than a pheasant
You’ll also learn how to use tools like long lines properly, and what to do when your dog bolts — without losing your cool or your connection.

What Our Members Think
So happy I found this fun, inclusive group of women where experts generously share their knowledge, time and passion. I am a complete beginner and have learnt so much and feel a lot more confident with my dog training. It is a place where you are not made to feel silly for asking any questions you may have, everyone is so happy to help.

Their support is invaluable to me and i could not imagine my training life without them now
They have helped me get over some issues i've encountered in training and helped me build my confidence
There is so many advice offered both on the social media platform as in the masterclasses that are accessible as a member. I always look forward to the coaching and Q&A sessions

Hi, I'm Joanne Perrott, the Founder of The Ladies Working Dog Group
You’re probably wondering, “Who is behind all this?”. Well, The Ladies Working Dog Group has been running for over 8 years and we’ve had the pleasure of supporting over 8000 women, just like you! We focus on ensuring every woman feels supported and empowered in their gundog training journey. And because we’re created by women for women, you can trust us to understand your unique needs and provide a safe, nurturing environment for you and your gundog.
Sometimes I think I’m the only one with two springers who are doing the opposite to what I ask. I feel down, I get upset, and then I go into the Society Member community and I know instantly it’s all going to be ok. The group are so supportive and I cannot be prouder of them all, this really is the community that supports you. Your membership now also includes free access to our flagship course Hot Mess Handler which is the course we all wish we had access to from the start. Wherever you are in your journey, we are here to help you learn quicker and with more confidence.
Much Love
Jo xx
