Larry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi We use an electronic cat and rabbit at Saturday training which means they both move and meouw/chatter LOL - we can show you what to do when your greys kick off at real cats and rabbits and you can practice in safety 🙂 Julie

Larry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thank you Myrna! Every day you see them adjust just a little more and it is so rewarding. Larry used to be like a bull in a china shop the way he barged past things and through things, but now he knows (most of the time) that he has to wait and that barging gets him nowhere. He also knows his name now! Mostly. He will come to you in the house and the garden most of the time, but if he is fixated on the cat, he is now much better with the chickens, then he just goes into hunt mode and not even putting tasty things in front of his nose interests him. Does anybody have any advice on how to train him with the cat when he gets like this? He becomes very focused and nothing will get his attention back on me. What I've taken to doing in the meantime is just walking him in circles around the garden until he is no longer pulling, but is walking nicely to heel instead. Only problem is that as soon as I stop doing this he goes straight back to 'let's go get that cat' mode - thus rendering the whole thing not very productive overall. There was no accidents in the kitchen last night, although he did manage to pull a packet of breakfast cereal off the side and ate a fair bit of it. We took him for a walk to Warwick Racecourse yesterday and he got very excited by this Collie that was running around fast and low to the ground. He pulled strongly and he was highly interested in meeting it, although I am not sure if it would have been a "hello I am Larry" meeting or a "you were running fast let me go catch you now" meeting. I didn't really want to risk it, even with his muzzle on, so I just kinda hauled him along and ignored the Collie. (He hauled me along a fair bit too.) He was fascinated by the little dam thing by the brook that our Retrievers enjoy swimming in, he put his paws up on the wall next to it to get a better look! This morning he had a great time running round in circles in the garden. He keeps trying to get Freya to play with him but she just gets very overwhelmed by this massively energetic person coming towards her at high speed and then barking at her. Their body language is just so different, she has no idea that all of what he is doing means "play with me please". Larry is such a playful guy, he loves chasing after his toys and attempting to play with our dogs in the garden. He is also really expressive with his front paw now and whenever it looks like you may be going down to stroke him he paws the air to say "scratch my chestttttt, oh go onnn, pleaseeee". It is so adorable. Every day he relaxes that little bit more and he is enjoying himself ever such a lot, it really is so lovely to see him blossom out into the personality he truly is.

First night over and no accidents. Brilliant on the lead and very gentle taking treats. He's already stolen a fluffy cushion off the settee for his bed lol.

Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
@nutellajar - LOL with the trademark move on the bowl, it's soooo Fire, hahaha. You've just got to love him! All he wants is to please you and he sort of saying through his eyes "Hey ma, am i doing it correctly?" ...nevermind knocking over things or stepping on a greyhound's paw, lol...he is lovely and never a bore. His future family will have gazillion of good memories with this greyhound. XXX

Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
ha ha. the trademark he did to me when I visited the kennels. except he did it on his water bowl so, didn't go too well! Also, when I left and went to see the others, he sort of said, "ahem? I believe I am the most beautiful and therefore should get the most cuddles!" (Well, that was in dog language, all I heard was crying!) Bless his heart xx
