selective deafness

I had considerable difficulty in keeping a Saluki lurcher's attention on me a while back: I resorted to swinging a lure, like you would for a bird: a dried rabbit skin on the end of a long piece of string: that was the only thing which he would focus on apart from real rabbits: it had to be something which resembled what he was really interested in: not the real thing, but close enough, and I'd have to run off with it bouncing about on the ground behind me to get him to chase it. Then he'd come in nicely carrying it and we'd have a few more games like that.

 

Casso: you have explained brilliantly what I always knew but couldn't quite explain in the way you have: I think you should be the one writing a book on training!
