Calling A Dog Off A Run...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

There is a big difference in a dog obeying a command to leave before the chase has commenced and once its started, if my dogs are in pursuit more chance of winning the lottery than them even hearing leave than actually doing it. I have yet to see a running dog obey that when in full flight,Strangely enough seen a lads terrier that would leave off stuff when told.

Exactly. I was talking about before the chase has really started. She was probably one stride in.

 

If she was on a run I would have no chance no matter what I shouted.

I would rather the dog be on a lead than try to call it off in a dangerous place

I can't remember the last time my bitch went on a lead. She follows me to tesco 2 mile down the road and then sits outside waiting for me

Someone will be away with it one day.....

And I might get hit by a bus

you seriously have no idea how many scum bags are walking about pal!!! there are people that walk about looking for thieving opportunities....you're leaving a dog outside a shop that a scummer could breed and pump out a litter worth hundreds in no time, they're not arsed that it's your pride and joy, trust me!

 

no point being all cocky about it and then in a few months time sticking a post on here because you can't believe someone has nicked your dog...why risk it?

Read the above post. I've done it 2 or 3 times. The world goes round. She's an ageing mongrly looking lurcher. I've took the chance a few times and she was there when I came out.

 

FFS. I know exactly how many scum bags are about fella.

 

So do I, and I wouldn't leave my dog outside a shop, not even once, not anywhere or at any time.

This thread wasn't about me walking the dog to the shops folks.

 

I used that as an example to point out that generally I don't need a lead for the bitch - in response to the lad who said she should of been on a lead walking back to the car.

 

I have probably done it 2 or 3 times late at night when it's quiet and she's been in the house and I've been going the shop and she's just come out the door with me so I've said "come on then".

 

Rob if she saw a cat she would look at me as much to say "can I?" And I would tell her to leave it.

I could call mine off a rabbit but absolutely no chance with a cat, nearly takes my flamin arm off when one runs out!

So do you think your dog lacks heart because you can call it off a rabbit?

 

Fitchet does.

 

This was what I wanted the thread to be discussing. Not wether my dog will get stolen from tesco

In that case your "not" calling your dog off a run per se, 2 completley different things imo.

 

I think once the run as started its difficult as that prey drive as kicked in, I'd imagine a large majority would question a dogs drive if it could be called off.

I got a dog here walks most place no need for a lead bombproof with cats waits at roads will ignore people with food. As for calling them off if you can do that I think it shows how much heart the dog truly has .......

I disagree.

Well this is my opinion based on what I've seen. I like a dog that will do anything to get to there quarry. No matter if your shouting leave or whatever a good sight hound should ignore you if there is legitimate quarry about. Don't get me wrong my old dog would stand watching another dog run but if it ran towards him he would strike it. But when it come down to it that dog didn't have that bit "extra" that gooduns should have. Although my bull x will run on command if one jumps on his nose he's not waiting to be told by me he can go. Same with my coursing dog. This is just my honest opinion. Atb

I don't walk through town with her Penny and its quiet where I live. I don't do it often, I was just using it as an example to point out the dog doesn't need a lead to the person who said she should be on a lead walking from my permission to the car

 

 

What I actually said fella was " I would much rather my dog was on a lead in a dangerous place than try to call it off " meaning that's what I would do but you crack on and do as you please it matters to me not.

I wasn't having a pop at you mate. I was just highlighting that I only used the "walking to shop" thing to explain that I rarely use a lead for her.

I wouldn't have a hope in hell of calling my dogs off if they had seen something they would be off , and if they hadn't seen something the they would be off looking for something to chase

I agree entirely.

 

If I could call her off once she was behind something I would be gutted.

not sure in full flight to be honest, probably not, never had a reason to try. When she's just starting I have done a few times....mainly when we're at the local park and there's some old biddy watching rather than in a dangerous situation

My last say on the matter......THAT is exactly what I mean about your cockiness pal, you commented about something that you do/have done (you didn't initially say you've only done it twice or whatever), people picked up on the fact that if you leave a lurcher outside a shop it's a dog theft waiting to happen, so they advise you to try and help you to stop your dog getting nicked, and all you can come back with it sarcy cocky comments. But like BS says, it's your dog, you know best.

Rob if she saw a cat she would look at me as much to say "can I?" And I would tell her to leave it.

Would that also happen on the likes of a rabbit / squirrel / rat / Guinea pig or anything run across the path / park / street / road ect?

 

Would she still ask "can I" ?? Or is it only on cats as she's been told that cats are off bounds ??
