We are half way through adopting a puppy. She's 6 months, a Lurcher, very strong already. She's lovely but crazy. So much energy. So much that I'm considering not adopting her (in the hope she'd be homed elsewhere more experienced).
She has zero impulse control, pulls so hard she chokes, and has no manners yet at all. She pulls hard to every person and dog she sees and will jump (continually bouncing) to lick faces. Is this normal puppy behaviour?
I have lots of experience with dogs but only with adult dogs. Never had a puppy before and I'm scared I'm out of my depth! I want the best for her.
Essentially, are all these things trainable with a Lurcher? (Greyhound x Saluki?) It's essential that she'll be (eventually) good off lead.
I've found puppy classes starting in July, but any tips/advice MUCH appreciated...
