DOes anyone know where I can get a reasonable priced lure machine from. I have thought about making one myself and could probabaly do so quite cheaply (aroun £50) but I have no idea how well it would work so would rather not risk it at the moment. Id hapily take a 2nd hand one if anyone knows of...

Nah it was quite funny. I had the chocolate in a piano stool that you have to lift up.I feel bad because I should have hidden it better, perhaps up a height. Im just going to give up chocolate in future because I cant keep him away from the stuff. haha

What a day ive had. I popped out for 10 minutes and left toby in his usual position on the couch. I came back to find he has dug out my M+S White Chocolate from xmas and ate two whole bags!! (They were well hidden and still in the sealed box) He seemed fine but after a few hours he started being...

Yep, thats what im worried about. Im not 100% sure how he would react. I think he may well learn lessons of the other dogs. Also I think he will see the lure as something to chase and go for that rather than interact with other dogs. It would be good if there was anyone available in the oxford...

haha that might work. He would love it.

Unfortunatly toby loves other dogs. It is just practice and im sure he will get there eventually. Its just frustrating because he...

fantastic pics, ive fallen in love with both your whippets :)

Toby has got himself a habit of running off full pelt (or pulling on the lead) to go and play with other dogs. He gives the other owners a bit of a fright with his speed :D but it means me running after him. Is it possible to knock this trait out of him and if so does anyone have and ideas...

He is coming up 9 months and no he hasnt seen a track yet. Im away in kenya for 5 weeks with work on thursday so im hoping to take him down after then. Just wondering if anyone has had the problem of dogs running off to see/play with other dogs because thats the habbit he has now so need it...

Hi, Id just like to introduce myself. Im david and im going to start racing my whippet at Oxford this year. Just wondering if anyone had any tips etc for a beginner. Look forward to meeting people.
