Saluki x pup testing my patience!!

[MrsChamp606 553]

Hi guys!

My butch pup Darla was 9 months old yesterday and I'm not sure whether it is her adolescent teenage streak / the amount of saluki in her or the fresh scents from loads and loads

Of young bunnies popping about during the mornings but she is really testing me with regards to recall.

I have been really concentrating on our bond and using treats to train her on sit,stay and recall she is bomb proof up to about 40yds on the stay and recall straight back to me.

As soon as I finish the training and let her enjoy a little run about she fooks off out of site, nose down and sniffing every blade of grass, I call and whistle her and it's like she is deaf or I'm talking Chinese!

Any ideas please guys??

Thanks

treats are ok , but the motivation factor needs to be higher, if recall only works where there is no distractions, it only half works,

what have you been doing to increase the bond as you stated,??

HIGH VALUE treats are the way forward. Dont bother with a bit of kibble or markies or shapes etc. Get a cheap bag of frozen sausages, grill them, cut them into smallish bits and give her 1 bit everytime her recall is spot on. Just go out for the walk as normal. After 10 minutes or so give her your usual "come here" comand. If she comes back give her a bit of sausage, call her good girl, stroke her head then carry on the walk. Another 10 minutes repeat the process. If she is anything like mine she will be running back to you like her arse is on fire after the 4th or 5th time. Then leave it half hour and do it again. Keep it up for a week to make sure its firmly installed in her head.

Been spending as much time with her as possible, taking her out on her own with just me, lying down with her and just bring together more really

Had some better results with using sandwich ham from the fridge, chopped up into small pieces, I wil cook some sausage up and take her out again later

This kind of sausage works well too and it has a longer shelf life. But you can use anything along those lines. Bacon, black pudding, bits of grilled chicken breast..................

derry was exactly the same at that age, dom used pork rind to get her recall back to what he wanted it only took a couple of weeks

[shaunpauls7 131]

Think i will give this a try dogmagic having the same problem with my salukix pup now that he is finding his feet and scentin up.

Haha I wouldnt of expected anythin else, we have always said I better Derry was the same as a pup, when you say pork rind do u mean raw skin or something else? Send my regards to dom

[Matt3699 142]

My Saluki X is the same age. She tests my patience too!

 

Her recall is spot on when it's just me and her... It's brilliant, but if she see's or even hears another dog/person she runs off and there is no stopping her. It's really frustrating. She just loves to play and nothing I do makes her come back. I have to run after her after screaming for her to come back looking like someone that can't control a dog. But I can!

 

I'm using different methods and she is slowly getting there.

[fatlad 250]

he got raw and cooked pork skin from the butchers she liked both, will pass your regards on to dom
