[krs118 14]

i have a saluki cross (he has just turned 1) i havent really trained him if im am honist i have taken him out with other dogs that are good and he sort of picked it up fairly fast he has run 3 big rabbits caught 2 ( run with his brother) and countless rabbits but when lamping on his own he doesnt seems like he is intrested or pay attention when lamps on does when hes with anouther dog i am worried i might have ruined him!!! running with anouther dog. any advice on how i can change this would be much respected

[Rain 232]

if thats all he has ran then i wouldnt worry. he still yound and dogs tend to be slower coming on.

 

leave him now till everything is cut and try again beginnin of season he will be the right age then and see what happens from there

 

thats what i would do pre ban obvs

Its a lack of confidence mate, give him a chance. Salukis mature much slower than other dogs and 1 year old is f**k all. Let him have a few easy runs on rabbits during the close season (il get squawked at for saying that! Lol!) and then see how he goes next season. If he is shit hot when he is with another dog take him with another dog and slip him doubled up a few times then start slipping him and holding the other one. He wont know hes single handed. PICK THE RUNS CAREFULLY tho so he has a good chance of a kill. If he kills or not, give him plenty of praise. Confidence will go up that way. Then take him home, give him a handfull of munch and bed him down to think about whats happened. On top of that PERSEVERE!!! Youle see a different dog in him soon enough.
