hunterdave 27 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I think it is all about socialisation rather than luck my pups come with me everywhere from 6 weeks on and I find that because they are subjected to different loud noises from the start that I have never had a dog scared by gunshot or fireworks sorry,yes lucky was the wrong way to put it,socialisation is what iv just been doing and have done so in the past always with good results Luck was the wrong way to put it your right, I felt you where selling yourself short your dogs success comes from the effort you put in If more people took the time with socialisation then their would be less problem dogs about. I agree with this although you may a feel a little gay sometimes it has to be done. the other day i was teaching recall with mine and some old ladys came past walking there little lap rats and were having a giggle at the size of the pup and me talking to him like a baby. if it saves me embarrasment infront of real lads out on the job id where high heels and feather boa if thats what it takees to get him doing it.your method of lightening the event is what its all about dude you probably understand more than you think i beleive most of us know what we are doing is right you just need to know your not the only f/.;cker acting like a plonker in the name of the pup.lol atb mate! thank f**k im not the only one with the bollox to admit it cheers pal watchman, you admiting that you wear high heels and a feather boa? only in the bedroom on sundays Quote Link to post
graham4877 1,181 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Start off with a .22 blank, and work you way up! I have done this ever since one dog took off after some bangers went off and just missed getting hit by a car! just take the blank everywhere with you on walks, set it off when the dog's playing about!
