gaza 508 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 exactly the same with my bull cross pup shes fine until theres another dog in site or even a person. it might be because of the excitement of being a pup & meeting another dog she is coming back a bit quicker but i cant stop her running in.

martin 332 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 You shouldn't run after her,you would do better running in the opposite direction,the dog will then think they are being left and should come back.Another way is to get down onto your knees and make a whooping shreiking sound,they find this so weird that they come back to see what is the problem.Don't forget to praise them when they come back,and never shout at them when they eventually do come back however long it has taken,or they will associate coming back with something negative.Good luck.....it just takes patience and time!

ross 1 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 seriously i wouldn't bother with puppy classes or if you do look into it very well they normally ain't got a clue about working dogs there just into show crap the ones i've come across don't no about anyone elses feelings towards them !!!! good luck and persivere it'll come good :thumbs-up: CHEERS LADS I WILL TRY AND CHANGE HIS ROUTINE I MIGHT EVAN TAKE HIM TO PUPPY CLASS Quote Link to post
DIGGIT 6 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 i would keep away from the pupy class because all he will do is try and play with the other pups just do what i said and it will come good. at the mo you are doing the running not the dog but by fu=#ing his rountine up he will so come round. here is some thing for you leave him on his own for a week just see him at feed times don't make a fuss of him and don't take him out, i bet at the end of that week he sticks to you like shit on a blankit Quote Link to post
