lurcher over keen

[airbourne 128]

Hi all this is my first topic and hope you can help me out as i am a new member on the site.

I have a 19 month old lurcher which is very keen on the lamp if anything is over keen, she will work all night no problem. The problem is has soon as i get her into the motor she goes from level 1 up to level 10 and whines like mad all the way to our destination and then pulls my arm out has soon as she gets out of the motor, all she has on her mind is RABBITS, she is colie x whippet x bull x grey. I can put up with the whining its the pulling thats the problem espeicaly when she sees the rabbit when you try to get closer before i lose her off.

I have thought off getting a harness what are your thoughts.

shoot the fecker , no mate get it on some heal work, day+night. forget the rabbits for a bit, go out with your gear on(lamp+bag .....) then when start walking, as soon as it pulls yank its head and say heal.If that dont stop it, do it again and pull the fecker of the ground.Ihad a bullx grey 26in 70lb, he was the same.stopped him pulling when walking around, but if he was going to be released on his quarry, he would pull then. So not as bad as pulling all night,you want some fire in there belly.

possibly double choke chain and good hard yank (as bird said) when she,s overly eager,also try and get somebody to sit in the back of the car and use same method with the choker,

tug the chain then whacker on the nose , with the no command, a dog what is pulling and choking on a slip will give the game away and you wont get close to nought. be strict with bulls, they can take it. im not saying beat it, you will get better response.,...

How often do you take her out? It might be shes not getting the work she needs.

Hi Bunnys, I take her out twice a day, road walking or i let her loose in the fields for a good run. I do also run her with another dog sometimes, I also take her on her own with other people present, would this be causing any problems?

i try to run her twice, three times a week.
