Kay 3,709 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Bit of a long shot but is there a possibility she could be deaf , i dont mean selective deafness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fabapocalypse 35 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 If the guy had done "nothing whatsoever" with her, maybe she doesn't KNOW what she isn't or is supposed to do... maybe she's had no training? And you've had her, what, six or seven weeks? It's not long... I'd say you might have to teach her what you need her to know. Back to basics perhaps? Doesn't sound like the collar is going to work in this case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOPPER 1,809 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 thanks for the replies,i think i will have to go back to the start,long training rope for her and a shed load of paraectmol for me how much time do you spend with the dog ? by the sounds of it you haven t bonded with it spend time with it play ball just stroke it but spend quality time with it then your in with a chance of training it , if the dog doesn t trust you and theres no bond between you youll be lucky if you teach it anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
