Training class, my experience
(Preview)
Took Misti to a dog trainer the othet day for a 1 to 1 session. I've been buying food off the guy for a while now, and he has/trains gun dogs. I'd been telling him about her everytime i was in so he had a good idea of her past and personality. So went in for the 1 to 1. -- Edited by fridays mystic at 23:48, 2008...

Hi there, we've had Murphy (formerly known as Prince, and totally adjusted to his new name) since November. He's our best mate, however we would love to let him off the lead. We are working on his recall in small spaces (closed gardens, our flat), and so far he's doing ok. Obviously we won't let him off un...

Gentle Leader
(Preview)
Hi
For those of you who use a gentle leader with your hound - what size would you recommend.
I'm thinking of trying it with Harley - we currently use a leather head collar. I think the Medium size would be best but not sure - he is a large greyhound but has a very long slim nose!
Any advi...

Bolting for Home
(Preview)
Hi everyone. We've had our greyhound Wizard for a year now, and his recall and obedience has always been great. But recently he's been running home. It started off with just running up the road to the house, but it's quite quiet where we live so it never became an issue until he started bolting from a lo...

Looking for some help with a gentle leader please!! I bought one today for Eddie. We've never walked any of our dogs on the neck (personal choice, feel we have more control using harness than a neck collar) but will he still need a harness on for walking - therefore using 2 leads? sorry if this s...

muzzle advice

My new greyhound Mason is cat-obsessed and every walk down my street sees him sticking his head in every gate and driveway on the hunt. I don't want to muzzle him while on the lead since he is so friendly with people, kids and any other dogs we meet but worry he might lunge if he sees a cat on the other side of a...

Jumping into the car boot?

Hi, i was really pleased the way I managed to train Rosie to wait, but another thing is rather annoying! She wont jump into the car boot! There are only two ways to get her in, lifting her or throwing a bit of food in and then she's more than happy to hop in! Is there anyway to train her to jump in, or do we just st...

'Wait'

I thought i would tell you that I have trained Rosie to 'wait' before she gets any of her meals! I started to get to her to sit whilst I put her bowl in its stand (food and water bowls are raised off the floor in a stand) and then told her to 'wait'. She now usually does it straight away as she knows she...

Wait vs Stay vs Leave It

Just wanting to pick people's brains about some commands, ie,wait, stay, leave it. At the moment, although Steve and I know what we mean by each one, it could well be that we're confusing the dogs as the command uses are so similar. Eg, we'll put a treat in front of them and tell them to "leave it" until we l...
