  1. patience mate, this is my first pup so im no expert, but the first time i took her lamping at 7month i knew she wasnt ready. mentally and physically. it was just my inexperience. so i did nothing more for a few months and shes grown and matured and is now flying on the lamp. as for daytime weve been out once and we blanked but this is her first season so im not expecting to much. if you know your dog you will know when the times right.. atb lad

  2. well this is my first pup mate but the first couple i was getting within inches of squatters, convinced she'd seen it i would slip her and she would go running off into the night!! the next ones mate i have been waiting untill they lift or even lifting them with my foot sometimes. easy runs mate but building her confidence, strike etc. took it steady really. when shes ready we'l move on. atb mate

  3. after training my lab to an ok standard of obedience, by no means gundog standard, i made a school boy error of thinking i was cesar milan.. my saluki x whippet/grey soon found all the floors in my training!! the first time i put a lead on her she sat on her arse and screamed the park down! she was/is hard work and i can see why people give them a wide berth but for me its been part of the fun.

     

    shes only 10 months but we have an ok recall, could be better, and she walks to heal off the lead.. the rest is coming as she matures. the problem with saluki x's i think is that sometimes there more intelligent than there owners, as in my case!

     

    i have used no training techniques at all just time, patience and bonding with my pup. you are choosing a dog that will be with you for life so dont wright off any cross. just pick the dog that suits your needs i.e quarry/land and spend time bonding with the pup. im no expert mate but thats what i have done, good luck pal and atb
