fitchet 788 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Why don't folk train their muts to walk properly on lead ?? I would not have a dog pulling me along Not all of them can be. Out of my 3 the collie/grey is the worst for pulling but will walk perfectly to heel off the lead. The only dog I've ever had wich I don't lamp without a slip lead is my saluki/grey. And he's not really a lamper so it doesn't matter too much. Atb Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 The dogs taking the piss really.. Cause is they can do it off the lead being on would be no different.. Its choosing not to and you are indulging their poor behaviour.. It might be difficult to persuade a strong willed dog but its not impossible and is achievable .. Each to their own I would not accept it. 1 Quote Link to post

Each to their own I would not accept it. Doubt it mate seeing as the old dog is 10 year old and still does it. A good friend of mine is a well known professional dog trainer. Means fook all to me but he trains pp dogs aswell as numerous "problem" dogs and makes alot of money out of the results he get.Speaking too him about it years back he said he could sort the problem for me. Unfortunately it was bang in the middle of ferreting time so I declined but if it inconveniance me too much i couldve sorted it.why would I waste time when he walks perfectly off the lead is bombproof with cats and other people calling him and will stand at a road wait and not move till told. Like you say each to there own. Quote Link to post
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) i see a lot of folk having problems controlling there dogs on and off the slip, sometimes it seems its easier just to live with it, i personally wouldnt start lamping with a dog that wasnt properly trained, if it never achieved the basics i had in mind then its never even going to get a shot at graft, its my way or the high way Edited July 6, 2013 by Hot Meat 1 Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Out of interest all of those who like to lamp off the slip do your dogs wait until they are told to run or do they go for the first thing that's lit up ? Atb Quote Link to post

Atb If I scan the field and there are a couple of squatters then I can keep her to heel and tell her to wait. Then send her to whichever I want. If it starts running in the beam then its game on and no stopping her. Quote Link to post

Atb If Im scanning she walks by my side, if I light something up and it is seen by her, I let her make her own call, as that will be GO. If she hasn't seen the quarry, if its squatting or over a brow I hiss quietly, she will trot the beam right out if needed. 1 Quote Link to post

BIGLURKS 874 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Can work mine off the slip if we're on are own the only problem I have with it is trying too stop the dog from running at a certain distance off them cos there is no listening with this dog if he sees some thing Quote Link to post
