dare 1,103 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 shock collar and even spray would be a big no imo its all about timeing and she does have the experiance. Understand being a woman and scared because in the past someone tried to take your dog but im sure they would bring such a git back lol just kidding. Go to the training or give to experianced home. The dog will only suffer what with living a life of stress and your kids may suffer even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Hunter 31 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Part of our club http://teessidelurcherclub.co.uk is to offer free help and advice to those who may need it and seeing as i am off this week i have arranged with Leanne to go to hers a few days this week to take a look at Bailey.Leanne has also agreed to come to our Lurcher meeting this sunday where we have people from the Lurcher Link charity who take care of problem/rescue dogs who will be able to offer advice.One lady inperticular took in two problem dogs and these dogs are now part of an agility team and doing really well.So if i cant help Leanne these people will and if it came to Leanne having to part with Bailey these people would take Bailey into foster care to give him proper training with an experienced person before being rehomed to a suitable vetted home.

droid 11 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Is anyone familiar with the expression 'may as well pish in the wind'?, well unfortunately I think this is as much use as everyone's advice is going to be to this girl. One good thing though.... If I ever get a dog, I'll read through these threads and act on the good advice contained in them. Because this horse can drink.... So you would be following all of my advice Droid. I'd do what I always do in a situation like this. Read through, sort out the advice that seems to be based on sense and experience rather than hearsay and bullshit, and follow it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCOTTY1 3 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 FROM LOOKING AT YOUR OTHER POSTS ABOUT BAILY I AGREE WITH SKITZ BLUNT BUT TRUE DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE PUP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swampy 147 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Having also read through your previous posts about Bailey there seem to be quite a few inconsistences. At one point you were going to give him away. I even offered to have him. Apparently I'm too far away!.................Where have I heard that before? You have even stated that with your three kids you just didn't have the time for him. Whats changed? A dog deserves every bit of attention you can give it. Your kids however are far more important. Any spare time you have should be with the kids. Kids don't want expensive toys and trips to Disney (they think they do!) They need quality time with their parents. Time you spend with that dog could be time spent with your kids. Its a "No Brainer". I am very sceptical about your post and would suggest that you let him go to soemone who has got the time and dedication to bring him along. Take the sensible option. Wait till your kids are older and a more independent and then try again. Don't ruin this dog and DON'T EVER PUT YOUR KIDS AT RISK! Swampy Worried ning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bedrock 16 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Let me be brutally honest with you Leanne, find the dog a good permanent home with someone who has a clue because you are clearly not cut out for dogs and not all the ticket! Get a budgie! And I mean all this in the nicest possible way. I agree with that totally If you were a more experienced dog owner you could possibly correct this, but it has already gone too far and you are out of you depth. The next step from snarling and growling is biting. regardless of how attached you are to the dog admit defeat give him to an experienced dog owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjbel 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Lots of people are coming up with the same advice Leanne. I would take it if I were you, and let Baily go to a home that can manage him before its too late, its plainly obvious at this stage in time you arent quite up to the job. Try again in a few years when the kids are older and maybe you will have more confidence with dogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wanna be farmer 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 You either need a very good dog trainer and you personally need to spend alot of time with him or give him to an experienced home. I know it may be devistating to give a dog away that you have such a strong bond with would be. Try the advice i have given you and what i have given you via PM, the advice is top noch as it's from a dog trainer/handler from the army and he knows what he's talking about. Best of luck.
