OMG! youve got a Borzoi!!!! ( thanks for the post BTW, just have to listen to them another day as I have no sound on PC currently! SOoooooooo frustrating!

Michelle, thank you for your comments and the time to respond to me, very grateful and apologise about delay in responding! I have tried various dog trainers and behaviourists, read a few books, posted and posted on here and listened to the very educated and experienced gang here! The last...

Thank you, This is NOT going to work with Robin. I have a harness AND a slip lead - he still gets away! There is NO warning, split a second into 50,000 and that is the time I get for a warning. zilch really! I don't get chance to breath, or think my hands automatically tighten on the leads...

Thanks :) I located a field but the size is miniscule! Not happy with the way the dogs interacted and although it had a 6' fencing, it was in very poor condition and poorly erected (no overhang either!) so I never returned and Robin didn't like it either! ( see my reply to JudyN) This is...

Thanks Judy! That field is REALLY tiny and not the cheapest either! Robin went only once and I witnessed so much bullying from the dogs and one aimed at poor Robin! Who came and hid behind me for the duration of the puppy session, one dog nearly got its ear chewed off! Nope! not for me...

Hi!, yes of course! www.gabrielsdogs.com

Judy to the rescue again! :) I have lost all the safe places for Robin by moving to Market Drayton, sadly, I had no choice and thought with it being more agricultural and the tow path so close, it would be fine! That was an error poor Robin is paying for! He is going to implode if he does...

Hi all, Despite all the support and advise I have received on this wonderful forum I find Robin is too much for me now! I really cannot see any way out, it is breaking me into pieces he is such a wonderful guy and really, really tries his little heart out to do what I ask. Natural instincts...

If only my Robin would be treat oriented! (sigh!) Ha ha! Good luck with the experiment! :)

I love him very much! Thank you! :)

Robin is a Borzoi. He is very playful and excited about everything! His speciality is seeing the cat before me! I just feel the yank in the lead and flying through the air hanging on to him for grim life! Today he had a great time on the Shropshire Union Canal towpath chasing the ducks that...

Thank you very much for your time and comments. I agree and impliment many of this, but without the running! Have you had much to do with the Borzoi? They are stand alone dogs! Robin is the fasted reacting animal I have ever had contact with, and that includes off the chart thoroughbred...

Thanks for your advise! Greatly appreciated. You and JudyN have been my rocks in a massive learning curve! Thank you both!

He is usually very good! I can ask him to sit and wait while dogs pass, and 99% of the time he does so! There are a few where he will take the 'I'm gonna pounce on you' stance and that is because he has chosen that particular dog as a playmate! LOL! I think this was an unfortunate incident...

OK, so a few of you will remember ROBIN! Love of my life but oh so hard work! We have had some very challenging times over the 21 months he has been in my life! Times I have thought he would have to go even! VERY powerful emotions! With the support from folks in this group, we have managed...

Hello! So sorry you have had some challenges! That’s life fir you! . I’m living with a beautiful dog who has brought some interesting events to the table and these wonderful people here have given me exponential support. I don’t think this is so much a ‘puppy’ problem so much as a person...

Gosh! Nooooo! They do NOT do things to annoy you! They are only expressing how they are feeling! Trying to tell us something! The dog is CLEARLY distressed when you leave! Please stop thinking negatively and aggressively about the pup! I truly understand how hard it is! Honest Robin...
