Guest WILF Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well this season learned me a lot.............and what a steep curve it was I learned not to give up on a dog with a bad injury and that some good lads are willing to help you out if they can...... I learned never to skimp on vet treatment....... I learned that you may as well work your dog to the max, because even a run on the simplest of quarry could be career ending....... But the best thing I learned was to just relax with and around my dogs, because that way I will be a better owner and get more out of my hounds....... By god I am looking forward to next season Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Wilf As this was my first season with my Lurcher I really did’en knows what to expect, from him or me. I have never trained a lurcher before so this was a learning curve for me and dog. I now know that I have more of an understanding of how a dog thinks, also I think I am more relaxed since the dog came on the set. I found that I have the skills that are required to train a lurcher to the standard where he won’t cause a nonsense when off the lead, he retrieves to hand, I think I have benefited from from his training also, I am now more in control of things around me, due to the long hours of training my lurcher I can now transfer this into my work day, I am now more understanding person, also I now how to over comeover issues without seeing red, and I believe this is all down to time spend with my lurcher. So in a nut shell I really have become a better person since my Lurcher came on the scene. Quote Link to post
