Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 A good lash across the ass if they play up. I use the end of the lead which is leather to give them a good lash, that way you've got no worry injuring them if you lose your cool too much and end up kicking them too hard. Plus the sound of being whipped startles them as well, its a quick sharp pain and a lesson learned for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPTfellterrier 65 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 it depends on the dog my cocky little terriers the feckers that they are get a clout regularly were as my lurcher is very loyal and submisive so a firm no does the job and a flick on the nose if neccassery Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pignut 4 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Lots of factors to think about: What type of lurcher (ie what crosses, so what type of personality - outgoing?, shy?, confident? willing to please? couldn't give a damn?) Who does he look to as the leader? What are you correcting him for? Is it because you didn't think ahead and set him up to succeed? Were you asking for rocket science or basic good manners? Or is it genuinely something he does that is very wrong? Personally, my lurcher hates to be ignored, sent out of the pack or shouted at. When he was a pup and I wanted to discipline him, I would hit my wellie boot with a dressage whip (I train horses, so we have them lying around and they are longer than your average whip) so it was the noise of the crack on the wellie that got me his attention and also acted as a immediate deterrent to doing whatever it was again. The pup was on the lead too beside me. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

malky888 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 My 10 mth greyhound / bedlington x greyhound /bull has started chasing sheep, goats and even horses, usually only when they run. Just started this recently. Gave him a bit of a hiding the first time, but then couldn't get him back on the lead. He is also very keen chasing deer. When the red mist comes down there is no calling him back. How do I stop him chasing livestock without taking the edge off his keeness for deer and other smaller game. Have considered using a shock collar and been advised to put dog in a pen with an old tupp but don't know any farmers that friendly. Any practical suggestions would be much appreciated. Has anyone had any success witha shock collar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone had any success witha shock collar? Breaking him to livestock will not effect his keeness in anyway. Keep him on lead and walk him through fields with livestock discourage any interest in livestock by tugging on the lead. Do this on a regular basis until you are 100% sure of him. Keep away from shock collars Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the sound of being whipped startles them as well, its a quick sharp pain and a lesson learned for them. a whip of the lead can cause them not to come near the lead when your wantin it on the lead Can I ask if you have used this method to correct your dogs before? Be honest! I've disciplined my dogs with the lead from day one, and my dogs go mental with excitement when they see me reach for the lead to take them out for a walk, So I don't agree I'm afraid. A dog will shit itself just by you walking up to it if you go over the top and lash them for nothing and lash them too hard, let alone shitting themselves from seeing a lead. I'm talking about a quick lash across the ass and a firm "NO", not giving them a good filling in over nothing. I can say that I very rarely have to hand out any sort of punishment to my dogs now, they know who's in charge and they know what they'll get if they step out of line so it's worked perfectly for me. PS. I will also say that the punishment has to be handed out at the correct time, and the dog must understand why its being punished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marky r 25 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 i do mine also with the lead and its best way iv found a boot is too hard the lead is far more effective a short sharp pain that they wil remember and mine come straight back when i wnt them o go back on the lead aswell.
