hyperion 122 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 When I got my new old dog (saluki/bull/whippet) last year I spent the whole of the first day I had her, and a great deal of time in the following days, just sat talking to her, giving her little treats, going away and comming back with food, giving her a brush down and playing a bit of fetch and what not and I didnt let her off lead for two weeks. Spend some time with the dog and earn its trust 2 Quote Link to post
sowhat 1,572 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Any dog in a strange/new envirement is bound to be nervous,give it time to bond with you, and defo don't let it off lead ! Quote Link to post
poyner111 5 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Mine has taken a year to settle properly before you could see her real temperament and confidence in me, and she still has the Saluki shyness! Quote Link to post
