Also I'm sure pretty much every dog owner has had an incident where their recall has failed, so don't feel too bad. I thought Ada was near perfect a few months back, at which point she chased another dog out of Clapham Common, across a main road and back to its house. Which was incredibly stressful and I felt terrible about and led to her going back on long line for a while + some intensive chicken based recall reinforcement.
