Recall Advice

[LurcherLad94 2,582]

afternoon lads,

im just after abit of advice my young pup 10.5 month old is realy starting to stress me out when i let her off the lead she will run about but when it comes to getting her back on the lead she fucks about she will never run away from me she will follow me but not come closer that say 2m from me so i cant get her on the lead if i try to walk to her she runs off like she thinks im playing with her she does the same on the lamp she kills rabbits for fun kills them and just drops them she will only stand with bigger rabbits if shes had abit of a lung buster,she seems very on and off with it last week she was fine comeing back after every run but the last few times shes been a real b*****d were it come to the point shes killed her first run for the last few times we have been out then it takes me 3 fields to get her back on the lead then i just go home because im annoyed.iv tried to get her to come closer to me with treats ect but she is not interested

When she won't come closer that 2 meters just turn your back to her.just stand still don't call her or make any noise pretend she isnt with you.she is playing a game with you the more you run after her or call her she is winning the game and is getting excited with it.

When she realises she can't get your attention she will soon get bored and come close to you for affection.

I would personally knock lamping on the head for a bit and work on the recall in the day with no quarry about.

 

Sit down and get her coming to you for a fuss. Give her a cuddle. Walk on a bit and do the same again.

 

Get her to want to be with you.

 

Then start leading her up periodically, just for a few seconds and then let her off again. So she gets to realise that the lead isn't all that bad.

 

At the moment she sees coming to you as the end of the fun. We are going home or back to the motor. You need to change that mindset.

 

I've done the above with both of mine from youngsters and never had an issue with recall day or night.

Did you do plenty of fetch work in the garden at home when she was young ? go back to basics with her retrieving to you in the garden coming straight when you call her give her plenty of enthusiastic praise. Once she is doing the retrieve right ,when you take her out try to get her to carry a rabbit along side you on the slip praising her .When she catches she will then get the habit of retrieving to you. Dont get her in the frame of mind that you end all her f un taking game away and putting her on the slip, she needs to be shown repetetively its part of the job to go on the slip once she realises she gets off again to chase she will work things out herself. repetition and enjoyment are what youngster needs and don tconvey anger either in movements in the voice or even down the slip or you will be fighting a loosing battle patience and more patience

Turn away and walk opposite direction , call her to you, if she does same change direction every single time and knock lamping on the head

The thing you are doing is standing there face to face mate.and just like you say she is waiting for you to go near her so the game continues.

Show her your back and stand still and quiet she will soon get bored.

Mine doing the same mate at 10months I just put it down to 'teenage' years, I never as my mum dad told me when I was a teen either so just keep at it and keep patient, try not to lose your head I know how easy it is to, but stay calm and he'll come good!

[bmull 189]

teenage years thats what it is back to basics then it turn out good again

This is one of the examples why I don't start saluki lurchers at such a young age. I find that they take longer to mature and be 'bomb proof'. But I guess we all go about things different ways...
