Hiya x i am posting this on for my mum x she is looking for advise or any info on her own 2 dogs xx
My mum has Tara, a crossbreed, she is 8 years old and also Shadow,a whippet and she is 4 years old xx
Myself and my mum have got 1 dog of each (crossbreed & whippet) from the same litter x i have the boys and my mum has the girls xx
Both my 2 boys are great x i have never had any problems with any of them but my mum has xx
Tara (crossbreed) as i say is 8 years old now, but ever since she has been young, she always barks at other dogs when on a lead but once off she is great and all she wants to do is play x When Tara is on the lead, my mum will tell her to "leave" when she sees another dog but she doesn't listen x Is there anything that she can use to re-inforce the "leave" command or is she just getting a bit to old now??
As for Shadow (whippet), my mum understands that its in her nature to chase things that move i.e. birds, cats etc x but when she sees something, she is determind to get it x Again is there anything she can use to re-inforce the "leave" command??
