Recall works perfectly until there is a squirrel

In the garden, flawless. In the park with nothing happening, flawless. Squirrel appears and I stop existing. Is this just a thing I manage forever or is there a way through it?

    You are competing with the best thing in his world using the second best thing in his world. Whatever you recall him with has to beat a squirrel, and that is usually not a biscuit.

    Long line for a few months so he never gets to practise ignoring you. Every successful chase makes the habit stronger.

    Had not thought about it as him practising. That reframes it.

    Also work on a stop cue rather than a come cue. Easier to freeze a dog mid stride than to reel one back.

    Mine is six and it is still managed rather than fixed. That is a fine outcome too.
