chelsea Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Thankyou x We have the local village "dog whisperer" coming today to assess her behaviour as she is awful on the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I bet those enormous ears are lovely and soft.... Is she not used to the lead, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 She hasn't been socialised at all Clare - probably not even walked for that matter we have just had 2 hours with a dog trainer and it's worked wonders already Skye lunged at anything - she is very movement orientated. We had a small bottle of fridge cold water and held it up and said "nicely" every time a dog or car passed us - if she lunged out we would give a short sharp squirt in the face of water and then when she had calmed down we would click with the clicker and feed her a small treat. Eventually we were walking by dogs and just showing her the bottle without even squirting! We are doing recall tomorrow - loving the training!

Treekeeper Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 What a lovely little warg. Both mine are rescue dogs, hard work but worth it in the end. I know you'll make a lovely dog of her when you've trained her up GS like BC's seem to like to be obedient, unlike mad spaniels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
