duckduckgoose Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I noticed a post in one of the other forums mentioning this and wondered if anyone has done it with a greyhound and whether it's easy to adapt to all the special circumstances they have! Particularly interested in whether the games can be played on-lead, whether we could play any of them indoors, and do they have clear instructions for adapting to different shapes & sizes of dog?

Onyfalk Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm on day 17 of the challenge and really enjoying it. It doesn't feel like a chore like traditional obedience training and the difference in my hound is incredible. She's way more playful, affectionate, trusting and less reactive to other dogs. We haven't actively worked in the recall bits yet but we do play on-lead and in the house. So far most of the games are fine to do indoors but you may want to lower the energy levels. We have made a bit of a mess while tearing through the house together. I do think they could show more training sessions with larger dogs/more reserved dogs. They mostly use very active and excitable small to medium size dogs for demos but they constantly encourage you to be creative and change the games to suit you/your dog. All the games would theoretically work with a greyhound but I'm pretty short so the ones where you need to get the dog running through your legs etc don't work for us. Even skipping those games I think we will have plenty of fun stuff to do for the next 2-3 months once you include all the free ebooks and videos and of course we repeat games. After that I suspect I will be buying another course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Looking at this for Pyra - I can't really find anything that lets me do a sneak peak at what this is - those of you that have done it, is there a way to see what the games are or get an idea of what they are doing. I'm currently watching a 30 min pod cast and it has not given me any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyfalk Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 They have loads of free resources but it's hard to find them if your not part of their Facebook group.

Onyfalk Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I've swapped from STAS to the 7 day reactivity challenge - £7 for 7 days of content. I couldn't resist at that price point given how much we love STAS. So far it's been perfectly targeted to my grey who is both nervous and excitable around other animals but it's going to take much longer than 7 days to get good at some of the games/techniques. These are a few links from rescue week. We have found the optimism building ones very helpful. https://game.absolute-dogs.com/growing-confidence https://game.absolute-dogs.com/multi-dog-household https://game.absolute-dogs.com/rescue-dog-s-and-kids https://game.absolute-dogs.com/separation-struggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
