Is it too late to learn my lurcher to retrieve


Recommended Posts

I have had this lurcher about a year now and he was nearly 2 he took what seemed for ever to catch the first rabbit. The problem is when he catches he just holds the rabbit on the floor and puts his paw on it :blink: and waits for me to get it. He doesnt get the fact I want him to bring it back to me he wont even chase a tennis ball when I throw it for him so what can I do?

 

Here is a pic of what I mean

is that dog a saluki collie cross from durham ( bowburn/spenny area) ? im sure ive seen it previous?

 

as for advice , you always can say go back to basics , but if basics were never installed , its going to be a tricky situation , take his fave thing , or fave treat with you on a walk out , local park or something , ive used all sorts from a tennis ball rapped with a doggy treat to a pair of socks , whatever method is used , always remember , PRAISE , plenty of PRAISE. always let your dog / pup know he/she is doing a good thing ...

 

ALL BEST
