I've only had one dog who was very flighty,even after years of trying literally every tool/method to get her to the point of a 100% recall. She did get better over time,but still had her moments of where she would take off.On the flip side,she would come back to me under distractions,the first time. After trying for years, we eventually stopped trusting her in off leash areas, unless there was a fence.

Has anyone ever had a dog who couldn't be taught a reliable recall?
