Hi Caroline53, here are the details of the trainer we used to help us and Marty (sadly put to sleep yesterday due to cancer) and Misty when we were having such problems with encountering other out of control dogs. He came to the house twice and we went round all the village' hotspots'. Each session was well over an hour but he still only charged the hourly rate of £50. plus £5 petrol.

Oh my goodness, poor baby. Trouble is it always looks worse on a delicate Grey's skin. A hairier dog would probably just have lost a bit of fluff! I bet Bailey's feeling very guilty, wouldn't we all react if our 'kennel-mates' trampled on us during the night?! Love and kisses to them both. Mand x

Hi Caroline53. We met up at the kennels a few weeks ago and you were telling me about Max. I'm not sure who you used as a trainer, but a few months ago Julie organised some training sessions with Jim Greenwood,just Google Jim Greenwood and his site is usually the first hit. I didn't get chance to go, but heard he was quite good. Julie, are there any plans for Jim to do any more sessions at the riding school? I'd love to bring my boy and perhaps Max could come too? Mand

Oh dear, not quite sure what to say, apart from that I'm sure you and Max will master his difficulties, but maybe this person isn't the best to help...the tree exercise sounded terrifying and you were luck that he didn't react. My goto people would be Ruth or Julie for advice, between them they are an amazing resourse to have...big hugs to you, it sounds like you had quite a morning xxxx

Morning Im not sure after 21/2 hrs if I have learnt anything more than I already know. He was playing mind games with Max, saying we need to teach him about recall, teaching him the down position and stay. I did say what about what you have come here for to help me with other breeds, he said lets socialise him first by learning commands. then he said we would show Max to his dog, best to measure rope so it just to short to reach his dog tie the other end to a tree so when he goes for the other dog he wont be able to reach it. I said you really don’t know greyhounds if we did that and he did go for your dog he could be at 35 mp I think it might break his neck, he turned to me and said he can run that fast . his little Lab was so calm Max acted like he does with Molly perfect so even the 15min with dog to dog was a waste of time. So I wasted £120 which I could have spent on getting his tail sorted. He said give him a call when you have done what we have talked about, next time it will only be £29. I think he would be good for working dogs / obedience he lay on the floor with his feet on the chair showing me how to get Max to go under his legs teaching the down position Ha ha really neaded to know that. Max and i are going to keep trying on our own.im still positive that we will master it together. xxxx
