miles 227 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi ossie Had salukis and saluki lurchers for years,you,ve got to start them young! I see you got yours at 7 months? This not coming back lark probably started with the first owner,as pups (and adults!) they,ve got all this energy and want to run,run,run and then do some more running They have got to assosiate coming back to you with great pleasure,not being put back on the lead and play time over,or a pissed off owner I got my pure saluki dog at 8 weeks and started off with the same whistle every time i fed him,when he came to the whistle indoors he get a bit o chicken or ham etc Try this indoors with yours? When your out get him to retun to you(use the same whistle) now and again,give him a treat and make a big fuss (make shure no one,s watching :whistle: ) and let him have some more play time.Not tryin to be a know it all just that this has always worked for me and pays off when you start working them and just makes such a smart dog as yours even more a pleasure to own Hope this is of some help Do you know how he,s bred?

The Ferret 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 How bout using a stuffed rabbit skin on a short line as a lure to get his attention. When he/she comes back, let it have a play/chase with the skin. If the dog can learn that it has fun when it comes back to you, that's half the problem sorted.

Ossie 11 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Do you know how he,s bred? bought as a saluki x grey. i think there's some collie in the mix too. looks very saluki, like a saluki skin over a collie x grey body. sturdy little thing. he gave me the runaround again this morning, belted off onto the field next door after a rabbit. buggered off right across to the other side of the field, when i caught up to him, he turned round, and trotted back home! i'm of the mind that i should just walk off & wait for him to come back, but the people at the cottage on the other side of the field have 3 pet geese, if he got hold of one there'd be hell to pay! plus i don't have permission on the field. off to see the keeper on saturday morning. not like the estate does anything with it, it's just ten acres of setaside, bunny heaven! it's that old temporary deafness thing, he just completely ignores me. ah well. i persevere. got a bag of aniseed balls this morning, he really liked them, but the silly bugger sucks them, so they take a while for him to eat! lady in the sweetshop said i should try liquorice, as her collie x lab goes nuts for it. thanks to everyone who has replied, you're all coming up with some really interesting ideas, stuff that i probably wouldn't have thought of, and stuff that should have been really obvious; i always end up making things too complicated by half!

inan 841 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 new round these parts, please don't eat me... i have a dog, wonderful in every way, but for the temporary deafness that occurs the moment i need to get him back. i can scream til i'm blue in the face, i've tried everything, from patience to a packet of McVities chocolate digestives in my pocket (and occasionally waved above my head), and the little sod still won't come back. well, he does come back, but it can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 15 minutes. if anyone has any suggestions as to how i can speed up his response time, they would be much appreciated. by the way, he is a saluki x. (which is probably half the problem!) Oz. Ive had this with a couple of dogs,both had Saluki blood,but that doesnt allways mean they will be unbiddable ,have you tried taking the dog to a field with cover,a couple of bushes or high reeds ,then letting the dog off and hiding ,sometimes this works after their intial fly around they get a bit anxious and start to look for you,you didnt say how old the dog is ,if its still a pup,it might bond more with you,my present 10month old pup is stilla bit sticky at returning immediately,its very tempting to lose it ,but as DS said that would be fatal,probably it would be better to get the dog returning to you at home in a small area without distractions,then as you progress move on to a small field ,thats fenced so the dog still has limited space to roam,its best to get the dog responding to you at home first,as you know they react differently when presented with unlimited freedom to run.Good luck anyway.Inan.
