  1. what a load of codswallop if you can call a dog of the game he was to catch he not much of a dog a you sure its not a gun dog you have. your talking the codswallop mate you obviously dnt no what your talking about i go out with 2 other guys and between 3 to 6 dogs most days and we can stop them. your obviously not training your dogs properly your telling me a hare or rabbit gets up the dog has say got up to the quarry put a few turns in and there haeding towards a gateway that goes straight onto a road you shout no stop and your dog stops if so mate you should open your own dog trainin
  2. <BR>I agree to train a lurcher to stop chaseing imho is totally unnatrual and i wouldent attempt it for fear of mentally damaging the dog.<BR><BR>this is true cause you instill rules in your dog from a young age eg.not to chase livestock etc but teaching a young dog to chase quarry and encourage him to do so then to smash that dogs confidence by then teaching him to stop well you would have to be very firm with the dog to do that any way would mentally damage a young dogs confidence but then again each to there own atb biza<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Som
  3. i havent seen a better looking whippet its a credit to you, how's it hard work? tempramental?
  4. it's nothing like the same as stopping it chasing livestock, you want it to catch rabbits etc. most of the time, you never want it to chase livestock so it shouldn't run after livestock no matter what. good luck with her mate! No but it is kind of similar to the control needed to do the following - take one hungry dog, make him sit, place a bowl of really tasty meat in front of him and watch him sit there for 10-15 mins wanting the food so bad but not moving a muscle, before you give a command and only then does he eat. Not quite but close. It's also how you tell the dog to leave things i
  5. I'm appalled to read the comments regarding the little Chihuahua being killed by a fox! I'm the Poole & Bournemouth Dog Whisperer, and I can tell you that it happened in front of 4 young children during one of their birthday parties! Before you make up your own assumptions on any story, please get your facts right. The father did indeed run after the fox (who wouldn't if it grabbed your dog?), and the dog was dead. The family are grief stricken, and wouldn't it be nice if you respected their pain and suffering rather than write a heap of s**t! Can i just ask if you were there an
  6. Why keep going on about a "collie cross" One of mine is a collie cross, and he is more stubborn that the others! The one i dont even have to shout at but just a click of the fingers, is a "saluki" cross! Its all in the training pal, why argue with guys who do it everyday... I mention collie cross because either pure collies or dogs with collies in them are generally more obedient and easier to train are they not? basically I was just trying to find out what dogs people were referring to when they were saying how their dog stops with one word. I'm not arguing, I'm just asking questions be

  8. German Shepherds etc. are renown for their obedience and intellegence though, not sure that's the same for sighthounds is it?

  10. the law on this is quite clear now.THEY MUST prove it was deliberate act on your part to slip the dog or encourage the dog. what about if you didn't deliberately encourage or slip the dog, but blatantly didn't discourage it either....i.e. if you stood there like a drip and didn't do anything, I'm quite convincing when it comes to being a drip!

  13. what happens if a lion jumps out could you slip the dog or should you let the lion eat you as long as the lion doesn't run after a hare you'll be fine, and if it does start just tell it "no!"
  14. what a load of codswallop if you can call a dog of the game he was to catch he not much of a dog a you sure its not a gun dog you have. Thank you!!
  15. are you sure it's not a shadow
  16. I'm not talking about some wild dog rampaging round the countryside, I mean it you were just on a park or something and a rabbit pops up. Thousands of people walk their dogs off the leads around parks and countryside!! If your dog was 30 yards away from you and a rabbit it appeared next to it, you're telling me that you saying "no" would stop it chasing it??? YES! I agree. My lurcher stops dead in his tracks when I bark: 'LEAVE IT!!' at him, but my little bitch of a terrier just kind of slows down in the hope she can get far away enough from me to act deaf before I get to her

If your dog was 30 yards away from you and a rabbit it appeared next to it, you're telling me that you saying "no" would stop it chasing it??? YES! OK, in that case forgive me for being so irresponsible as to let my dog have a bit of a wander in the park. No if you'll excuse me, I'm just off to give my ferrets a bollocking for removing biscuits from their dish w

  19. that's what I don't understand, if you're walking any sighthound and a rabbit bolts it will chase, even non sighthounds probably would....surely walking a sighthound off a lead isn't breaking the law!
  20. If you were walking along through a national trust woodland with your lurcher and a rabbit bolted you're lurcher would obviously chase it, and I would imagine with most dogs even if you called it back it wouldn't listen. If it caught and killed it but you had been calling it back to no avail, would you still get into trouble for that? Same question if you were walking anywhere and a fox or hare bolted, I know it says that you should make every attempt to stop your dog but surely the level of your attempt to call it back is subjective? you could stand there whistling it and obviously it
  21. I have, I divorced the irritating cow
  22. I would name so then at least people know who to avoid!
  23. Going by the title of the post, I would say cheshire Sorry, how thick of me....here's me thinking Cheshire is a county and all along it's actually a forest
  24. Its same when you have cats, most dogs that live with cats would still go after other cats when out of the house.
  25. good answer that mate,look forward to reading up on your training programme,funny as f**k getting caught lamping with no dog just a brand new pair of rebok classics and a full bag of game it's worth a go if you're not happy with your missus, it would mean the RSPCA would rehome YOU!!
