Always knew before I got one that salukis were quite ignorant at times and very head strong. The bitch I have now is my first running dog and is pure saluki and has been quite the handful to train but non the less great fun to have. Just not at 2 is she starting to really show signs of maturing a little. As a pup I worked on the basics with her as much as possible to try and have an advantage as some friends said she would be a task to train (these being collie x lads). I used treats for a short period and moved onto a lot of praise every time she returned but it just wouldn't work. She's 2 and now her recall is great, she can run her quarry and return without chasing everything in site and ruining the day or night. With jumping she would jump solid walls but not fences, so I tried the one leg over each side method, the jacket over the wire everything recommended. She one day jumps the fence as she can see the mrs in the street but wouldn't do so on command, Like I said now she's turned 2 almost everything about her has calmed, she now clears bar gates etc...

 

Is this around the time they tend to mature ? , as a bitch I thought it would have been a little earlier but every dog is different.
