jen.d 0 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 hi ive a 9month old bull greyhound dog that dont seem to want to come back tried tit bits even running away myself creating as much noise as i can with the other dogs to seem were having fun without him but if he gets something on his mind he wont come back like if its a dead animal carcase we passed earlyer on the walk a scent for him to roll in or even the car or gate meaning he can go home ive never had this problem with any of my other dogs but if you do get his attention he'll stop were he is meaning you have to walk the length of the field to get him back any ideas greatly appreciated as he makes me so mad with it he gets called a number of choice names not just his own Quote Link to post

chimp 299 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 is it a worker or pet Quote Link to post
kev2010 8 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 The only things i can think of are he finds whatever hes doing more interesting than coming back to you or he doesnt see you as pack leader.And i dont mean that to sound like your boring or not the leader. Quote Link to post

natter79 17 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 he's probably just testing you, he's nine month's old and just pushing boundries to see how far he can go before correction, my dog's 2 and still chuck's a deaf ear now and then (which just show's how sh1t i am at training dog's so just ignore me ) atb natter Quote Link to post
