Thread: Recall training for a sighthound

to teach stay requires hands on the dog - hold it in position- lots of praise- you may find it easier with the plywood - gives the dog a point of reference - they do have a problem associating just a patch of grass with what you want - get those two working first- then move on - at the ned of the day what do you want the dog for - just a pet ?? - wrong breed if you have notions of an indicator - another good command to put on is leave it if you use a whistle then with that command a really loud harsh blast - if you have a neighbour with sheep walk the dog around sheep - with rope on and any attempt at chasing or interest 'leave it ' -USE THAT ROPE A LOT EARLY ON
