Christopher Toohey 13 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 any tips on stoping a dog from whinging and its not because hes not being excerised enough i walk him twice a day he was just really whingy since i got him Quote Link to post
hutch6 550 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 A dog whinges for two reasons really: 1. Pain 2. To get something. IF you are dead sure the dog isn;t in any pain then they will whinge for something such as attention. This becomes a learned behaviour if the dog gets attention or what it wants when it whinges. Make sure that everybody in the house is clear that if the dog whinges it doesn't get anything, not even eye contact because telling a dog off is still attention regardless if it is good or bad attention. Ignore all whinging. If the dog whinges whilst you are getting its food ready then stop and walk away - "You doing that will not get you your food any quicker".

Good Man 196 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 It seems a lot of saluki and saluki lurchers do this and it can be a right pain, but in time they settle, usually. Its a funny thing, it might howl, bark wine ect in that kennel, but if moved to someone elses kennel, they don't make a sound, as some lads have found out in the passed by giving the dog to someone that can put up with the noise, then finding the dog is quiet as a mouse their. lol Its a saluki thing.

hutch6 550 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 How long have you had him? Is there a set routine to the day with your dog? Have you tried leaving soemthing with him to occupy him when you go, I know there is no real subsitute for company with their best mate but a frozen kong stuffed with meat and cream cheese is a decent attempt.

rogue with a running dog 22 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 in my opinion saluki / saluki crosses are contrary little sh*ts have u had it since a pup if you havent they take a klong time to some to terms with there new owner atb jon 1 Quote Link to post
baldockbanks courser 598 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 The good news is the more you walk/work saluki lurchers the more they want to be walked or worked, if you don't walk them they'll wine, if the ice cream man comes round thell howl, when you walk another dog and don't walk them thell how'll and wine. No worse dog for it I find. I don't even know I've got deerhound lurchers there so quite in kennels, but the saluki is a highly strung annoying hound to kennel. But then are they absolute supreme athlete in the Lurcher world and as a running/staying dog nothing else comes close. So get a canine calm collar or just ignore it and reap the rewards of these frustrating but brilliant dogs. 4 Quote Link to post
