hi what do people think of training there bull cross do they think they can be more difficult then training most other lurcher crosses im finding it hard to train mine recall hes fine when theres no other dogs around but when thers another dog hes off like a rocket and follows the other dog im shouting him till im blue in the face i end up having to run after him this is really frustrating cheers kieron

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.

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!

i must be a lucky 1 my bullx is fine even if she sees another dog/person and starts to go i only have't to call her and she's back even when i was walking them and i collapsed and passed out i'd expect her to off but she was still there with the terrier [bANNED TEXT] i came to !!!! :thumbs-up: i can't fault her for that to be fair !!!

SAME WITH ME MAACCY,,IVE ONLY HAD MY BULLX A FEW DAYS,,HE LIKES TO SEE OTHER DOGS AND PEOPLE ITS GOOD FOR THEM TO SOCIALISE,JUST STAND YOUR GROUND AND WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK, THEN AS SAID BEFORE PRAISE HIM LIKE MAD AND TREAT IT,,ITS FRUSTRATING BUT ALL WILL COME TOGETHER EVENTUALLY

aint the only one mate mine is the same ,one whistle and back he comes,plenty of recal training when he was a young un maccy if he bolts on ya stand your ground even if you walk the other direction when he's being a worst thing you can do is run after him.

HI MAACCY

you will get this prob from time to time , but your dog is still a pup what is he 5or 6 months old, all he wants to do is play, his life is a big game to him at the mo so what you need to do is play him at his own game.

you need to make him dependent on you keep him geussing break his rountine, it sonds like you have got him in a rountine, things like feeding him at the same time every day, walking him in the same places,

when you do all this the pup gets comfortable with whats going on in his life so then he starts to take the piss a bit.

 

so when you break rountine the pup feels uncomfortable then he will strat to look for security which will be you or the closest thing to him.

 

hope ive helped mate :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up:

CHEERS LADS I WILL TRY AND CHANGE HIS ROUTINE I MIGHT EVAN TAKE HIM TO PUPPY CLASS

[ross 1]

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

[DIGGIT 6]

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
