Help http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif
I adore my beautiful greyhound with all my heart but when she accidently gets loose it drives me crazy!!!
She has pulled apart a plastic buckle collar, slipped out of nylon metal collar, chewed apart her no-pull, pulled apart a choke collar and the recent escapade was when the ring on her martingale broke, and the chase is on!! I have recently started double collaring her when she is outside at my parents house. My dad has welded a 3/4" bolt onto her collar. The other day I was at my wits end and seriously considered taking her back to the Humane Society. And I have had her over a year. I feel like such a bad mom!! I was even afraid to voice those fears outloud, let alone type them. On another post I asked not to be kicked off!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Thanks for the support Rachel!!!
I have tried putting her out on a regular harness but then she just stands there and won't go potty.
I have talked to other greyhound owners and they say that no amount of training will help b/c their instinct is to run, and no matter the love they feel for their owner, they will run. And believe me she wants for nothing!!!
Due to finances I do not have a fenced in yard, but that doesn't seem to matter yet, I have intentions of getting one eventually. My dad thinks I should get an electronic collar for her but I am afraid that it would scare her and she would keep running!? And they are expensive too.
Thanks for all the input-- Happy Holidays!!
