Hi my puppy is a Russian Wolfhound now 4 months old. He is extremely exhuberant, but will often completely loose it and charge round the garden from 0 - 30 mph in a nano=second. Often will run into objects and hurt himself!. I have just started walking him out and he is really great although...

To everyone who posted on this thread a huge thanks! My puppy is a dream to take out now after only 3 days! I found a body halter that was light and fit beautifully from .....B & M!!!!! He walks really well in it. Sits at kerb often without being asked and waits patiently! NEVER pulls on...

Video was pretty cool! 'food for thought!' Will certainly give that a go! :)

Thanks Judy N, really appreciate your input. I have had some great advise and it is good that it sounds like we are all on the same wavelength where training is concerned. For the most part Robin is a dream, we have a good relationship and I think he must like me, which is helpful. I have...

Thanks Hemlock, All good solid advice, I have a Freelander so he has to go up and down a very steep ramp! I have put non slip paint over, and also glued wooden slats to help him grip, he will go up and down it very happily now, and will sit in the car once, but repeat - oh, dear no! I guess...

Hi, Lurcherman, and thank you. The difficulty is this sanity switch! you know the one, when he is good he is very, very, good - and when he FLIPS he is INSANE! Things become a tug of war game and he just pulls me all over the place! LOL - don't have that problem with the horses!

Thanks RinkyDinkyDo - just sent a message off to Martingale, will await their response! :)

Sorry Judy N, also would like to say he has been tried with a safety harness and he was not overly keen, and it was wa-ay too hot for him, conventional collars just slip off when he pulls back, and I hate having a tug of war with him, it is so against my learnings and my teachings! I am not over...

Hi, Judy N. Thank you again for your speedy response and help! The quick and simple answer is that he has a 'switch' and no triggers! He has not been outside the garden since I had him (big garden (ish) ) He races round and round the planted areas at around 30 mph or more! I throw his toys...

Thanks for speedy response. ~The choke chain was 40 years ago! No I no longer had it, but I used it correctly and it was only ever in action if the dog lunged, for example at a moving object (cat or rabbit) and instantly released automatically when she responded, it was a split second action...

Cannot get a lead and collar that is safe with my dog (Borzoi) He walks beautifully at heel when calm but when his looney moment comes suddenly he is uncontrollable and dangerous for him (and others) to take him out. I had a choke chain on my Borzoi many years ago, but I really do not remember...

Thanks, I've moved area 20 years ago and they are not as good here as they were previously :( This is thee first time I have had a dog in 38 years! She made so much impact on me I just couldn't do it - ended up with the same breed now - but a little boy! :)

Thank you all for your responses. I have now changed my vets that I had had for 4 weeks only! Disgraceful practice! Outside examination not viable due to only just having had his 2nd innoculation. The practice did not inform me about the problems with L4! Had to be told by a friend! Yes...

Hi, I would like some advise please. My puppy, 17 weeks old, A Borzoi, has damaged his legs! 3 of them! He slipped and did the splits yesterday with his hind legs, today I found swelling under the groin on the left leg. Today, in the morning, he did something to his front right leg and...
