What the hell lol.
What the hell lol.
There's always a way to work a dog. This particular dog sounds like it's not his personality that it's difficult to condition him but more so of his physical condition that's an issue. Best of luck to you! Never had a dog that just falls flat on its face just by trying to run! What you described sounds like one of those super deform bully.
will post a vid today
he is 6 months. he was on a chain setup but have been keeping in in crate for bout 2 months now. a little deformed. but he got into a kennel accident with another older male and when i came out , the pup was mopping the floor with the other hound and i quickly picked them both up at the same time and they seperated (hellava handle) lol. but i will post a vid
Buddy, if I were you I won't even be thinking about working him yet. He's only 6 month old and was recently involved in an accident... Just let him rest/heal up and mature before you even start to work him. I'm sure if you let him heal up and mature you won't have any issues working him. Also you shouldn't keep him in a crate as his main stay. Just my 2 cents.
when i say work i mean just walking him in general. letting him off the chain to run around, ect. he was in a yard accident about 5 weeks ago, he is fine.Originally Posted by Pit Bull Committed
There is nothing wrong with a little light work with a young dog to socialize it with the equipment and how to use it it does wonders. If the dog wans't hurt in the accident then i don't understand why mentioning it was useful if he was hurt and its been 5 weeks then there could have been damage to a tendon or musle that has not healed all the way, or was permanently damaged. I usally wont work a dog none until atleast 2 to 3 months after a hunt. JMO
Keeping dogs in a crate can also lead to growth problems...
the reason i mentioned it was becuase jack said "How in the hell can such a thing happen ... and how in the hell can such a dog fight anyway?" just so happen he had a yard accident earlier last month.
he could not walk well as a young pup, he was always very slow and made it look like it was painful to walk. i would let all of the pups out in yard to run around and he would just stay by me, and go off in his own direction. if another pup would bumb him while running he would fall over and just mind his business.
Jack this is the same pup i posted about the bone deformatity problem. he walks slow, cant run, falls on his face, after a 20 min walk his body just completely goes out and he needs to lay down fror a while to recover.....to many problems with this hound, the only reason i am keeping him and holding on to him until he is adult because of the way he bred and is worth a lot of money, so mabey as he matures and his body fills out it might change. but as of right now i try to socialize him because he is shy and doesnt know anything. so i try to spend time with him and gain his trust,.
Wish you the best bently! Seems like that pup has had a lot of issues. I personally wouldn't keep a dog just because of how it's bred. This is just me though...not trying to start a debate.
Didn't mean nothing by my post its just hard for anyone to answer your questions without the facts more then likely the hound will not recover but i respect you for giving it a chance. When working a dog with a defect like you talk about the risk of injuring it further is high there is no way i can think of besides a swim tank that would be beneficial to the hound and im not 100% that it wont injure itself there. Best of luck
