I have a 2 year old male Whippet, he's such a good dog in many respects apart from his recall. He will come back fine if there are no other dogs around but the minute he sees one he is gone.
I think in part I may have caused this problem as I let him play with other (willing) dogs as much as possible as a pup thinking this would socialise him well. I feel so bad though as now he is on a lead 90% of the time as I can't have him sprinting up to every dog he sees.
He is also very rough with other dogs which is another problem!
Does anyone else have a similar issue? Or a Whippet with perfect recall? I'm trying to decide whether to keep trying to train him or just accept he'll have to be on a lead.
