Hi. Pooch cut his paw on the sat before Xmas and has been confined to on lead short walks only. Saw vet (again) today and they say at least another 5 days. He's a c12 month lurcher - born to run.
To be fair he has been really good. I've been doing extra training with him at home and taking him round different streets trying to tire him out. However I can feel he is getting increasingly frustrated and desperate for a run/play. He spins round like a whirling dervish when he sees another dog and anyone looking at him would think he's completely mad/out of control.
Just had a horrible incident with a cyclist riding their bike right in front of me on pavement whilst pooch in mid spin. Cue verbal abuse from cyclist.
Any tips? will try clicker on walks now too and cross if I see other dogs.
