I think he was probably just really concerned about his dog and got stressed. Even with good recall training an over excited dog can sometimes go a bit crazy. I'd say try not to fret it was your fault. If his dog wasn't trained well he maybe shouldn't be letting it off lead where other dogs are...

Absolutely

Thank you for the replies. J went home with his daddy at the weekend and it was a lovely emotional reunion and they clearly love each other very much. I can understand why my son loves J so much. He is the most gentle and affectionate dog I've ever known and if I had one I'd want one exactly...

Very much so. Thank you. Sorry for invading this one.

Unfortunately that's not possible. I have allergies that seem to be OK downstairs because the house is open plan and the door is usually open to the garden and we have wood floors.

My son has a whippet cross (Lurcher) that I'm dog sitting currently and they do tend to be calm and quite happy to laze around. Like yours he is quite strong willed and isn't treat motivated. Patience and love seem to be the key. They have bursts of energy but then appear to just be fine...

Hi. Thank you so much for your responses. It's very helpful. I will show my son the replies. He has said he will most likely get the muzzle and introduce it as part of his lead and walk routine. He makes it fun and has taught him to bring his lead to him and sit for it to be put on. He really is...

Hi. My son gave a home to a rescue Lurcher about 4 months ago. He is absolutely adorable and incredibly affectionate with him and women in general. He seems to have taken a shine to me and when I visit he is playful and very gentle. The problem is that he really isn't keen on men apart from my...
