Simoman 110 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Work on his recall in the garden, perfect it there before moving to a lrger secure area and don't let him off the lead during walks until it is 100%, if you let him off before this it will just rienforce the lack of recall.

Guest oldskool Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 when i first brought home this wee bollocks she ran like the blazes as soon as she was let out of the boot i ended up following her up the road in the car and i only caught her because she ran into a farm yard and i got her cornered lol... i just couldnt handle her at all cause she knew as soon as she was off the lead i hadnt a hope of catchin her... my answer was the electric collar but she wore it whilst it was turned off for a few days first.. before i turned the collar on i had her on a big rope and i just gave her a tug when i called her name... after a day she recalled perfectly whilst the rope was on... when i took the rope off she went back to square one so i activated the collar and all was well again... i have her on the lamp now and she's doin pretty well... even walks beside me without a lead... and the colar is back in its box again... she thinks her ordinary collar is the electric collar and thats why its important to put it on for a few days without activating it... probably a bit amaturish but i got my result and in a short time too perservere mate, you'll be surprised how little time it will take... and it looks a mighty wee dog to be gettin shot of Link to post Share on other sites
