Recalling Saluki X Greyhound

[Pikey pup 1]

I have a 1 year old saluki x grey, she is very sociable with other dogs and people... Recalling her is a nightmare ... Any tips would be greatly appreciated

If she won't come back instead of chasing after her and shouting her name, just be quiet and walk off in the other direction and she should follow and when she does cone back greet with praise, don't loose your temper

Keep an eye on her when out walking,then crouch behind some trees/cover,when she looks up and cannot see you wait a few seconds then give her a shout,if they get the deaf head on that's it,just one of the saluki traits we have to live with,just got to be patient,and let them come to you

All the above plus, what I used to do was turn my back, start digging around on the ground with a stick, after a while when the dog comes to see what you are doing, drop a treat into the hole. Worked for me.

Yep I agree, act as if you're leaving her, stand behind a tree or walk to the gate or something. when she realises she's alone she'll come to you, and be ready with treats (sausage and cheese!!) and shower her with praise.

next time, call "come here!" or "(name) come!" once you see her moving towards you. dogs learn words by what they're doing - shouting "come here" whilst she's thinking about pratting around with other dogs means that those words, to her, mean "prat about with the dogs". she has to be doing to command when you say the word for her to learn the word. practice recalls a few times and once she's running readily back to you, start shouting the command to her, and give treats. she'll soon hear you say the command and think "oh that means run to dad/mum" and just do it automatically

yup that also works for me, they're curious things and soon abandon a game to see what exciting thing you've found on the floor! make sure all training is fun and enjoyable, don't get angry and shout or the dog wont want to come back.
