    Junior delinquent!

    Hi everyone! Yes! I have another problem! .............. I wonder if it will ever stop! So now at 2 years and 10 months old, Robin has had a huge hormonal kick! Recall is none existent except when in the home! He is sniffing scent everywhere. The worst part of this is that my lovely...

    I'm thinking of going to Crufts, still worrid about Covid.

    Understand, however that has been direct from someone in a very high position but who obviously cannot be named :(

    I think that is the soundest advise! You can NEVER trust ANY animal implicitly. As you know my Robin is a wonderful dog but he is A DOG and will do his own thing spontaneously!

    I'm thinking of going to Crufts, still worrid about Covid.

    Hi, I think you are wise to be cautious - HOWEVER! Do not loose sight of the fact that the coronavirus' have been around for years and years and years! always and frequently changing to become the worst they have ever been! It is stuff like that that keeps challenging and improving our...

    Feel your pain! My Robin is EXACTLY the same - makes me feel better just knowing I am not alone! ......Nigel Reed! Dog trainer - get his book if you are able, I've learned so much in such a short space of time! Already seeing improvements! Best of luck!

    Help! Dog randomly goes for strangers

    Hi! THAT is really interesting! I agree with Hemlock on a resolve, but I would also like to add that animals are SUPER SENSATIVE! Perhaps there is a passed memory of something with a person with hands in pockets or just that the dog can sense a bad person! They are able to feel our energy and...

    I was commenting on your post and adding that information - that I feel is VERY relevant :)

    Control of my dog!

    I understand the physiology has a massive impact - not only on dogs but every living thing! How you can say that there is not much difference does shock me! DIET DIET DIET! makes a MASSIVE difference! - to every living being!

    Control of my dog!

    physiology does not differ significantly across breeds, totally agree, but are you aware that the Borzoi has a much narrower skull and this design gives them 20% more visual range than all the other sighthounds! That is one of the reasons the Borzoi is the top of the hound list (aparently)

    Control of my dog!

    I appreciate the honesty, and yes I am constantly asking the same question, as I previously stated we are continually learning and I hope that someone would somewhere have a suggestion that works! Constantly Robin and I are evolving and growing a stronger relationship. He is a good boy that is...

    Control of my dog!

    To be VERY clear :_ Robin is extremely well mannered on (and off) the lead 99.9% of the time, never pulls, unless desperate to go to the loo if he has been too long without a walk, as he is too polite to soil his own home, he is light to move around and happy to walk 'at heel' when requested -...

    Control of my dog!

    Really!? Well, I'm gonna give that a try then, because if I can get control of his head , then that should be the answer! Has your friend never had any problems with the Halti rubbing on the eyes? That was what I was told nearly a year ago! I'll be elated if I was given incorrect...

    Control of my dog!

    Sorry Tinytom, I missed your post until just! Thank you for that, as far as I am aware the Halti is not good for the Borzoi because of the shape of the head. While it looks very similar to the greyhound, the skull is a slightly different shape, this infact is specifically there to give the...

    Control of my dog!

    and THAT, is why I keep asking for any new suggestions! This dog is far too wonderful to just give up and have him PTS! I cannot entrust him to anyone else for his safety and for others. If he caused an accident, I would never forgive myself, but this is the ONLY issue with this dog! He is...

    Control of my dog!

    I have no intention of giving up on Robin, it is not his fault and if I have offended people then I am sorry they have been offended - I don't support Millan, which is why I was struck dumb when he approached me as we were passing each other. But I seem to be running out of ideas, as do others...
