I would also consider how you exercise or can exercise the dog , if a saluki is not moving well he’s not enjoying the ride, how he feels good is down to how much energy is moving , he wants to fill his lungs and move as well as he possibly can that’s feel good for him , be part of that and your on the right track

The real difference between the earlier and latter breeds is evolution, incorporating another species /tool into your flow pattern is an element of evolution, so we then have an animal that foregoes the kill for the betterment of the whole group , some where along the line the inter species relationship evolved to a higher level

Sorry I’m on speed ?

It all comes back to the emotional capacity of the mutt, collies and herding breeds , have an enormous capacity to take in stimulation and use it , whereas other breeds fold, into instinctive behavior, look at it this way some people can get up in front of millions and have a ball. They can be exactly to same in any situation , I believe it is a gift, like him or hate the little weasel , mcgregor is an example of someone with a emotionally capacity far and beyond many living today, the ability to channel stimulation and work with it, been comfortable in the uncom

Think instincts , the older the breed the more reliant on instinctive behavior it is , more cat like , you cant f**k a cat over too many times or you won’t exist for it and it’s your tough shit whereas these new shiny all dancing smiley collies and like will take any amount of whipping and stil lick your feet if asked, chew on that one

No that way you make it a command bud it then can contrast where and when and that lovely hurling

Ok that’s a prefect example of what I’m on about you have a young dog 10 months , raw , finding its way now during the previous months all that was done was hand feeding , boxed trained the Down and trained to bark on command , all outside nice and quiet somewhere the pup has been tuning into you every outing for months and you are bonded at a base level , it’s gut if a dog can ingest food while stimulated , it can digest the distraction of a strange dog in its environment , it can’t keep focus on 2 things at the same time , the same as if the pup is trained to ba
-
Throw out the bowl Kay and let her earn every scrape of food , if shes tuning you out, while out , get behavior for every morsel , nothing like a hollow ache to turn a dogs head , getting the bark out is a great way of calming a dog when it getting worked up Might take a while but bark on command means a dog has to tune everything else out
-
2 half 3 depending on the dog will generally be an age where things change, he tunes into work with a vengeance He’s about as physically vigorous as he’ll be and if he was in the wild in a pack , he’d be feeling around for weakness for a higher social move , it’s a good time for him if he’s working away he shouldn’t have an issue but I wouldnt leave him lying around too long and introduce him fresh to new male dogs

This term socialised for me means social and how that happens in nature is by not having a bad experience with another object / animal. , that’s all it is the fact that a cow and a rabbit can be social towards one another doesn’t mean they are friends All it means is they don’t have an emotional charge directed towards each other Basically they are nothing to each other , they can graze in close proximity ,without each other giving a shit That’s all been social means in nature is not having an emotional response towards another , that can be a bird with an animal, wil
-
I get where your coming from but what does been social mean , for me been social for a dog should be, ignoring anything else in its environment but me, no reaction to hostile dogs , gobshites or anything else not work related you don’t train a dog by throwing every thing at it at the beginning distraction are include as the bond develops , they not thrown in at the start? the last pup reared here was a cane Corso /Dogo mix , hes about 50 kg , no one and I mean no one advised me not to socialise , he met his first dog at 10 months and he play bowed, he could do that
-
The dog is only processing the world through the ONLY way he can and that’s through a predator mindset , I don’t know way people can’t understand the implications of that , so when another dog is walking on the other side of the road he can’t differentate between a dog out walking and something coming at him, the only saving grace is that a dog is one of the most social animals on earth and if meetings were allowed to play out and this is the point, the ritualistic behavior is what plicates the encounter , the sniffing pissing then smelling of urine , posing , it all works out the
-
If a dog is used to a certain workload when out , he has to brace himself for that driven frame of mind , which in turn means he stimulated for work so his body is primed for action, dogs with a large temperament , Wheaton, bull breeds , sport dogs , dogs bred for up close and personal heavy work can need a more intense work out before I engage a dog in an activity , I look at the situation from his point , when has he worked last , is this a new experience for him , how can I control the situation , if I can answer these I know what to expect , it’s about management with dr
-
Is that form of exercise different than he’s used too ? dogs contrast between different environments , inside the home is different than the mental space he goes into while outside , if he used to getting out and tearing shit up in the field which takes a huge physical burden off his shoulders and keeps him chilled then all he’s doing really is tearing shit up as usual , Outside is a frame of mind and with the Wheaton that means work get him on a tug item for ten minutes first , chill the f****r down , best of luck
-
You’ve got to ask yourself where does all the potential for work go in a non working lurcher, dogs are stimulated on sight, which is great if it can run and hunt and burn off stimulation if not stress is produced, as stored energy, it builds and builds until it finds a trigger , dog cat , cushions , moving objects, energy will leak out everywhere unless the f****r has a clear notion of where you show it what to do with its energy energy has to flow , a working dog has a clearly defined root to restoring balance through work, that’s why it ignores anything not work related ,
-
Curious to know if that has actually worked , it’s still working off the principle that energy moves but A dog that has sparked off another has reached a high emotional state, the question remains whether you can reach that state in play with the dog , if not you playing catch up to Mother Nature which always know which objects absorb most energy ,
-
Sexuality and sensuality are closely linked because all energy can flow , it is also an important element in social interaction If we take it that male dog engage in certain ritual behaviours of which sensual behavior is a huge part of , smelling, touching , nudging all that behavior has it foundation in it’s sexually, take a huge element out of that equation and you completely change the dynamic of the dog
-
Your learning fast , it also has to run to ground like electricity , the physical act of ripping a large tug item and kill it brings its energy to ground , physically , the same energy it wants to put into killing something else ,, !! you can mechinically manipulate how a dog feels about it’s world
-
Feed only when out, dog has got to earn every scrape from here on, no free lunch , no bowl , long line while out, more physical contact, and especially feed in the down much like a collie who can ground his whole bodily energy and stay stimulated, bring stimulation in the house to zero , inside calm , outside movement , so a dog can contrast , they learn fast to contrast its mother nature’s law of energy conservation, it’s all physics at the end of the day only you haven’t been told that yet but the dog is our connection to the principles of energy ,
-
Any dog only ever has 2 issues which cause problems 1 , Do I feel safe, (at that very moment) 2 , what do I do with my energy Starting from there, we work back ways. Take him out in areas nice and quiet, and only make tug play his only outlet of energetic expression The reason for this is. The tuging action gives the dog his greatest workout pound for pound , it’s up close and personal and commands can be introduced and understood while in a highly charged state if you are it’s greatest energetic output / you control its state of arousal , The dog will
-
Stimulation causes it’s own energy, in other words when a dog is in a highly charged state you can either work with that energy or confront it , that’s your two choices, when I bring a pup along for working , I walk only in fields, his whole focus is on me he’s in a flow state and he’s chilled out and that is the foundation for how he will feel out with me, every gobshite under the sun will tell you need to drag the pup out for months on end in traffic /dogs /noises/ other gobshites , whatever the world of fake news throws at you , pup needs none of it, none, at every

Run her very hungry, hunger is mother nature’s way of kicking every animal out of bed in the morning , it’s a force of nature which gives an animal the ability to overcome resistance

Don’t know if you after a greyhound cross but I don’t see a grey in the pic, maybe something lost in translation ? looks like a contented bunch, for heavy work , bring a skin of some sort and whatever pup hangs on the longest, grab it and pay the man and best of luck

I think what is been asked is , if you have had success with homeopathy why wasn’t it your go to option, might be better off sprinkling holy water on the veteran

retrieving dummies like a Labrador but not lamped rabbits
Casso replied to rob arnott's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
They won’t all retrieve that’s is a fact , no doubt , why they won’t is very much open to speculation and worth investing in Every dog is an open book but not everyone can read between the lines,
