    No that way you make it a command bud it then can contrast where and when and that lovely hurling

    Ok that’s a prefect example of what I’m on about you have a young dog 10 months , raw , finding its way now during the previous months all that was done was hand feeding , boxed trained the Down and trained to bark on command , all outside nice and quiet somewhere the pup has been tuning into you every outing for months and you are bonded at a base level , it’s gut if a dog can ingest food while stimulated , it can digest the distraction of a strange dog in its environment , it can’t keep focus on 2 things at the same time , the same as if the pup is trained to ba

    Throw out the bowl Kay and let her earn every scrape of food , if shes tuning you out, while out , get behavior for every morsel , nothing like a hollow ache to turn a dogs head , getting the bark out is a great way of calming a dog when it getting worked up Might take a while but bark on command means a dog has to tune everything else out

    2 half 3 depending on the dog will generally be an age where things change, he tunes into work with a vengeance He’s about as physically vigorous as he’ll be and if he was in the wild in a pack , he’d be feeling around for weakness for a higher social move , it’s a good time for him if he’s working away he shouldn’t have an issue but I wouldnt leave him lying around too long and introduce him fresh to new male dogs

    This term socialised for me means social and how that happens in nature is by not having a bad experience with another object / animal. , that’s all it is the fact that a cow and a rabbit can be social towards one another doesn’t mean they are friends All it means is they don’t have an emotional charge directed towards each other Basically they are nothing to each other , they can graze in close proximity ,without each other giving a shit That’s all been social means in nature is not having an emotional response towards another , that can be a bird with an animal, wil

    I get where your coming from but what does been social mean , for me been social for a dog should be, ignoring anything else in its environment but me, no reaction to hostile dogs , gobshites or anything else not work related you don’t train a dog by throwing every thing at it at the beginning distraction are include as the bond develops , they not thrown in at the start? the last pup reared here was a cane Corso /Dogo mix , hes about 50 kg , no one and I mean no one advised me not to socialise , he met his first dog at 10 months and he play bowed, he could do that

    The dog is only processing the world through the ONLY way he can and that’s through a predator mindset , I don’t know way people can’t understand the implications of that , so when another dog is walking on the other side of the road he can’t differentate between a dog out walking and something coming at him, the only saving grace is that a dog is one of the most social animals on earth and if meetings were allowed to play out and this is the point, the ritualistic behavior is what plicates the encounter , the sniffing pissing then smelling of urine , posing , it all works out the

    If a dog is used to a certain workload when out , he has to brace himself for that driven frame of mind , which in turn means he stimulated for work so his body is primed for action, dogs with a large temperament , Wheaton, bull breeds , sport dogs , dogs bred for up close and personal heavy work can need a more intense work out before I engage a dog in an activity , I look at the situation from his point , when has he worked last , is this a new experience for him , how can I control the situation , if I can answer these I know what to expect , it’s about management with dr

    Is that form of exercise different than he’s used too ? dogs contrast between different environments , inside the home is different than the mental space he goes into while outside , if he used to getting out and tearing shit up in the field which takes a huge physical burden off his shoulders and keeps him chilled then all he’s doing really is tearing shit up as usual , Outside is a frame of mind and with the Wheaton that means work get him on a tug item for ten minutes first , chill the f****r down , best of luck

    You’ve got to ask yourself where does all the potential for work go in a non working lurcher, dogs are stimulated on sight, which is great if it can run and hunt and burn off stimulation if not stress is produced, as stored energy, it builds and builds until it finds a trigger , dog cat , cushions , moving objects, energy will leak out everywhere unless the f****r has a clear notion of where you show it what to do with its energy energy has to flow , a working dog has a clearly defined root to restoring balance through work, that’s why it ignores anything not work related ,
  11. Casso
    Curious to know if that has actually worked , it’s still working off the principle that energy moves but A dog that has sparked off another has reached a high emotional state, the question remains whether you can reach that state in play with the dog , if not you playing catch up to Mother Nature which always know which objects absorb most energy ,
  12. Casso
    Sexuality and sensuality are closely linked because all energy can flow , it is also an important element in social interaction If we take it that male dog engage in certain ritual behaviours of which sensual behavior is a huge part of , smelling, touching , nudging all that behavior has it foundation in it’s sexually, take a huge element out of that equation and you completely change the dynamic of the dog
  13. Casso
    Your learning fast , it also has to run to ground like electricity , the physical act of ripping a large tug item and kill it brings its energy to ground , physically , the same energy it wants to put into killing something else ,, !! you can mechinically manipulate how a dog feels about it’s world
  14. Casso
    Feed only when out, dog has got to earn every scrape from here on, no free lunch , no bowl , long line while out, more physical contact, and especially feed in the down much like a collie who can ground his whole bodily energy and stay stimulated, bring stimulation in the house to zero , inside calm , outside movement , so a dog can contrast , they learn fast to contrast its mother nature’s law of energy conservation, it’s all physics at the end of the day only you haven’t been told that yet but the dog is our connection to the principles of energy ,
  15. Casso
    Any dog only ever has 2 issues which cause problems 1 , Do I feel safe, (at that very moment) 2 , what do I do with my energy Starting from there, we work back ways. Take him out in areas nice and quiet, and only make tug play his only outlet of energetic expression The reason for this is. The tuging action gives the dog his greatest workout pound for pound , it’s up close and personal and commands can be introduced and understood while in a highly charged state if you are it’s greatest energetic output / you control its state of arousal , The dog will
  16. Casso
    Stimulation causes it’s own energy, in other words when a dog is in a highly charged state you can either work with that energy or confront it , that’s your two choices, when I bring a pup along for working , I walk only in fields, his whole focus is on me he’s in a flow state and he’s chilled out and that is the foundation for how he will feel out with me, every gobshite under the sun will tell you need to drag the pup out for months on end in traffic /dogs /noises/ other gobshites , whatever the world of fake news throws at you , pup needs none of it, none, at every

    Run her very hungry, hunger is mother nature’s way of kicking every animal out of bed in the morning , it’s a force of nature which gives an animal the ability to overcome resistance

    Don’t know if you after a greyhound cross but I don’t see a grey in the pic, maybe something lost in translation ? looks like a contented bunch, for heavy work , bring a skin of some sort and whatever pup hangs on the longest, grab it and pay the man and best of luck

    I think what is been asked is , if you have had success with homeopathy why wasn’t it your go to option, might be better off sprinkling holy water on the veteran

    They won’t all retrieve that’s is a fact , no doubt , why they won’t is very much open to speculation and worth investing in Every dog is an open book but not everyone can read between the lines,
  21. Casso
    Don’t give up on this pup bud , he’s only learning his trade, if you start believing the pup won’t, he defiantly won’t People just passing opinions then calling them facts ? one dog can react differently to a situation than another, that’s nothing got to do with chemistry , it’s temperament, everydog will have elements we like and dislike , focus on the positive, in reality when we invest our time into a dog we end up lookin for traits we like in ourselves build trust, the relationship is the key, don’t confront or discipline in your space , hand feed , you don’t need

    Seen worse, e collar trained if not done correctly can leave a dog very reactive and confused not knowing what it can and can’t do, fucks it’s mind over the dog looks fresh so he ‘ll display plenty of energy, empty his tank and see what he’s got to offer, 2 hard bitten dogs who display aggressive issues towards each other can be treated in much the same way, tie them up within a few metres of each other and let them offload as much aggression as they can, after 4/5 hours I seen dogs drink water out of the same pot , its never personal , it’s energy
  23. Casso
    I always worked off the premise, that if the dog is comfortable with highly prized objects in my space than recall isn’t my main objective for the retrieve,
  24. Casso
    The difference is one is attack trained and most of the dogs with wankers are loud and aggressive through lack of work the attack dog has mapped humanoid under its prey making activities , in other words grabbing and shaking a human becomes how it offloads energy when stimulation reaches boiling point , look up Jessie smith, professional dog trainer level headed guy who was working with Alpha dogs Indiana when I met him first, he lost his step son to a trained dog I can’t see how the risk is worth it,
  25. Casso
    I don’t know how you do a 100% test on these dogs , they usually test with food to warrant a reaction but the same as any dog in a static mindset you may not get much response you will never know where you stand with a dog until energy levels are at boiling point which is about the only time you need real control dogs need a trigger to vent energy when excited , what that trigger might be is anyone’s guess
