    Dog chasing deer - help

    I have a lurcher who when I got her 6 years ago had a very high prey drive. She wasn't and still isn't in the slightest food or treat orientated. Anything that moved she was after and wouldn't appear back for a good while and was often injured. I tried keeping her on the lead but she was so...

    Exercise for older dogs - canicross etc

    I do canicross with my lurcher she's Staffie x greyhound I think. She's only 4 though but she does find it tiring, in fact the reason I started it was in an attempt to find something to tire her out! I think it's a matter of treating every dog as an individual as others have said rather than...

    oh god, what have I done.

    Haha I know what you mean I do enjoy just getting out in peace and quiet but likewise does the dogs good to socialise especially the younger lurcher as she can be quite reactive and the classes have done her good though we've a way to go! That's a shame none of classes are handy for you but I'm...

    oh god, what have I done.

    I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Bet your legs are worse tomorrow! I've not tried the cani-hike at all but my worries were same as what you've said that it might be a bit slow paced for us, so that's confirmed it thought it'd be nice to walk in company I suppose? I was also surprised at the...

    Oh no! That is something lola would totally do! She's only managed to smash a lamp with a well aimed Kong so far! Nothing as expensive as a TV! Enjoy, if I wasn't nightshift at weekend would have been along too. Let us know how you get on 😊

    oh god, what have I done.

    Are you off to Strathclyde Park on Sunday? You will love it!! After much deliberation I joined the same club I suspect you are going to about a month ago. I was same, worried if I would be fit enough, if my mad lurcher would cope with all the other dogs 🙈 I have done a 1-2-1 and the...

    Crate training new dog

    Hi Cayla. She is roughly small greyhound size I would say. She sleeps upstairs at night on the floor with no fuss. Had a bit of a breakthrough today she settled a lot more today came back after an hour to find her lying down and quiet so fingers crossed! I make sure I feed her in crate too so...

    Crate training new dog

    That's what I was thinking maybe I've rushed her a bit. I left her for half an hour last night and was lot more successful only a few barks compared to continously. She's got her own bed that's a good idea I'll put it in there so she associates it with sleep. Thanks!
