nickdonboy 264 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks for the advice. He's my first pooch. Have you ever owned a saluki cross? Yes I have,....but I no longer need to take the Valium... Seriously,...with regards to lurchers,..I am keen on the Herding composites,...they suit me,...but many years ago I relied on a Saluki hybrid to keep me alive.... Great years, dangerous dark nights,... I genuinely owe the breed so much..... That's a nice way to put it. I use "wait there" if they're too far ahead of me My younger pup is half saluki and is a lot less biddable. Still coming on well though, copying my older one just not as sharp with simple commands Quote Link to post
Casso 1,261 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Well done fella,...good to see a young man working on his dog's education... Sometimes,...when you put the dog in the down/stay position,...instead of calling him to you, off the stay,....walk back towards him,.gently put him back down,.then walk away... Let him know that, stay sometimes means stay,....don't always call him to you.... Only a suggestion,... That's good advice , I don't like a pup breaking until he gets a verbal or a stronger enforcer is touch( physical command) because a lot of the time your body language can indicate the release command, which you may not be aware of Walk back give pup a touch on the head and give release command , it gives a definitive point to wait for, You seem to be on top of it bud but pups reads body language far quicker than any other signal Best of luck 1 Quote Link to post
