airbourne 128 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 if you have just had him you should bond with him first keep him on the lead and only let him off in a enclosed area, you have got to find out what makes him tick, slowly does it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I thought you were getting a puppy? If you take on an adult dog and you are not experienced, you may have a lot of problems. If the dog hasn't been previously trained, well socialised etc, you may be taking on someone's mistakes, bad habits etc. When you take on an adult dog you have to put yourself in its place: one moment it is with its previous owner, who I presume had it for a while, unless they were a dog dealer/peddler, and the next moment the dog finds itself in a strange place with someone it doesn't know at all. You need to keep the dog on a lead for at least a fortnight. Spend time with it, get it coming to you and responding on the lead. Praise it, find out everything you can about it: does it sit? Does it listen to you at all? What food does it like? A dog is not a car, able to transfer ownership with no problem. It is a living , breathing, feeling animal and it will be bloody confused at the moment: you are very lucky it came back to you at all! It wouldn't hurt to take the dog to some local training classes: that way you and the dog can learn together how you should work and train and play together. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casso 1,261 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Had new dog out this morning soon as a let him off he was off couldn't get him bk lost sight a him when a seen him he came bk what can a do to stop him from bolting the basis of any good relationship is a shared emotional bond, in as much as employers sent employees away together to share an emotional experience be it a challenge together or a similar experience it brings a closeness between members of staff through a shared emotional experience, most close friends have a shared emotional bond and its the same with the mutt, if you can get good emotional experiences between you, the old owner will be forgotten in no time, it will make you more exciting to the dog, and how you develop emotional bonds with dogs is by getting their drive energy flowing ,when a dog is in drive he is in total harmony with his environment, you included, Drive is EMOTION in its purest form, tug items are great, it brings a dog into drive easy (depending on your relationship it may need working on)and keeps him in your space and focused on you, you will need to keep him on the lead at the start, but once you can stimulate your dogs drive with a command as access to a wanted item, the dog has tuned you in , it wont happen overnight bud, it'll will take time like any good relationship, best of luck Edited June 29, 2012 by Casso Quote Link to post Share on other sites
