cocker06 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I take my older girl lure coursing once a month, I'm very lucky as I also have access to private, closed in land where there are lots of bunnys to chase so she gets to do what salukis are bred to do, it's when I'm out generally walking I have to be careful with her. thanks for comments so far.

jigsaw 11,890 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 my thoughts on it are this,DONT WAIT/WASTE ANOTHER DAY,GET THE PUP OUT RIGHT AWAY AMONGST THE SHEEP AND LAMBS.Walk the pup on its own through the sheep.If the sheep are not spooked walk right up to the sheep and it should/will run,the pup wants to give chase.Have his leash in one hand and a rolled up news paper in the other.The minute he tries to take after the sheep,pull hard backwards and shout NO.......AND ADMINISTER A FEW SHARP BLOWS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE NEWS PAPER.It doesnt hurt him it just frightens the shite out of him,after a while (a very short while)he will not be in any way thinking of chasing the sheep/lambs.Its a rough ould method but its a very sucessfull method.When you do iut repetitivly,he wont even blink at the sheep.Thats the time to lavish him with praise. in my estimation if you dont break the dog,you shouldnt have a dog.its a simple process and I hope you suceed in your efforts cocker 3 Quote Link to post
