buster 8789 64 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I agree with "spot.me.in.the.dark", if the dog is 35 i think you should retire it. Get real mate, a 35 year old dog is in it's prime.. Not if it's been worked propely. I usually retire them around 25ish. They're barely out of being pups at that age, you must give them a real hard life.. Or maybe others give theirs to easy a life. Quote Link to post
trinder 127 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I am at my wits end, after 35 years of perfect behaviour my dog did something odd for half a second the other night...............I now feel my season is completely over!!!! I take it out 2 times a week and mooch about in the day allowing it to do whatever it likes, it has caught masses of game for me in the last 26 years but when it had the off moment the other night I just knew in my heart that this was the end............I just dont know where to turn. I have never bothered to read a training book or ask someone in person that knows about such things, but I just cant understand why the dog totally ignores my commands/kicks/blows when we are out............as I said, I know this is the end and I am determined to give up the game................I just cant take it anymore. Any two bob advice please from someone who,s dog is no better than mine would really help me sort me head out If Skycat could possibly take 20 minutes out of her life to write something that I will totally ignore, that would be really appreciated. Cheers! how the f**k is the dog 35 years old is this a joke or do you have no concept of time ? instead of moaning about your dog why dont you make an effort to learn about the type of dog you have . Most sighthounds or sighthound mixes learn better by positive reenforcement so stop subjecting your dog to acts of cruelty and bond with it . You say you mooch twice a week and let your dog do as it pleases well from what i can see its you not the dog thats the problem im a begginner to hunting but ive had dogs all my life and i have read and watched countless articles and programmes on dog behavior and its always the handler your a joke and how you can call yourself an extreme hunter is beyond me take some good advice and let someone who knows what they are doing have the dog because you obviously dont know how to use it Yeah, you tell him fella. This Wilf character knows feck all about dogs by the seem of it.. Quote Link to post
