Hello reader! Welcome to the series of dog breeds presented to you by Afghan hound training. We are presently in the first part of our series in which we were presenting sighthounds. In the first chapter of this series, we were discussing the Afghan hound in our previous post we have provided you a brief account on grooming of Afghan hound and the challenges an owner of Afghan hound might face when grooming their own dogs. In this post, we will highlight some of the basic traits of Afghan hound behavior that we feel would be helpful to you when you are in for Afghan hound training.
Challenges you are likely to face when during Afghan hound training
As explained in our earlier posts, Afghan hound training is a bit difficult. Blame it on its origin or on its evolution but this is a crystal clear reality. Being a sighthound the Afghan hound has a mind of its own which constantly tries to overrule the will and commands of their owner (read it human free meal provider). The strong urge to chase coupled with aloof and stubborn character will put Afghan hound owners in some awkward and sometimes potentially dangerous situations.
Just for an example; think of an Afghan hound owner taking their dog for a brisk walk in a park or on a roadside and or for that matter Afghan hound training in a park or in a community Afghan hound training class. Suddenly a playful pug grabs Afghan hound’s attention and the dog decides to catch the small animal and chooses to not to pay attention to its restraining and yelling master. This all can happen when you are doing Afghan hound training in public places. Things can get really ugly real soon. This is one of the extreme possibilities that can happen with a poorly trained dog. This behavior exists in all dog breeds to some degree but this is quite easily manageable in some of the more common dog breeds like Labrador, golden retriever, German shepherd or a Rottweiler. But in almost all the sighthound breeds this bond of understanding is difficult to enforce, especially in dog breeds that are very closely related to Basal Breeds. That’s why when you are doing Afghan hound training try to do it in confined private space.
Here I would like to conclude this post about Afghan hound training, but the work has not been completed yet. There are several topics remaining as we proceed with the breed description and move ahead in the series of dog breeds by Kaivalaya’s Ani-Mall.
