Our rescue dog- lurcher advice

Thu Sep 06, 2012 3:09 pm

She is lush but she has two issues since we got her! This is our 2nd rescue lurcher and the last one was cool.

1-will not leave you alone 2inches off your ass all the time (not a major problem but gets annoying)
2-eats slippers my stan smiths :( and nearly eat the iPad via the case which she demolished :evil: everything we have tried balls, rope toys etc.

Anyone got any advise ta

thats anxiety thats causing that.

lurchers can become very timid especially if they were mistreated.

ive got one and he's similar, he got run over so now he's a nervous wreck. go to take the rubbish out and when you come back in its like he aint seen me in 3 year :lol:

we recently got an alsation and she's toughened him right up, we think he's just acting it coz he wants his hole but he's no where near as bad now.

im no expert on how to train em out of it but it is possible.

good luck. cracking dogs lurchers especially when their chasing rabbits. mines only got 3 legs so he's fast in a straight line and barrell rolls if he tries to turn too fast! :lol: :ayatollah:

Thanks lads I agree it's anxiety we have no history she is lush but obviously does not like being alone that's where the staying close thing comes from she's very friendly as most lurchers are.

We were lucky with the iPad !! Bless her
