Hahaha! Probably the nerves of being in front of the camera.

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah ok yeah

Youre my beshst mate!

Yeah

I came to the comment section to say this

And put the vid on repeat.

I’m dead. I couldn’t even finish the video…

Also have a UAE saluki mix street dog :)

Same with us. Practice, practice, practice I guess, despite how scary it is for us.

I have had Salukis in my life for 53 years. Point one, Salukis are not "Dogs" in the normal sense of the word. They are ancient Canines. They are physiologically different from Dogs. They are generally reliably quiet and peaceful around people.They are mentally different from western "Dogs". My Salukis do not like Dogs ! Salukis are not particularly demonstrative, but their love for their family runs very deep. They generally get along great with other Salukis. But ,if your Salukis are street rescues, you have no idea of what they went through in early life. They will get along with non-Salukis, IF they are part of our Household pack, or well acquainted with the dog in question. Do not expect your Saluki to get along with strange dogs, in a public park. It is an invitation to a fight. Salukis also think they are better fighters than they are. In a fight they will usually come out the loser, which can be fatal Salukis are the consummate hunters. When hunting they ignore everything, except the prey. Saluki response can be as fast as a striking Rattlesnake. Some Salukis can approach running speeds up to 45 MPH. . Salukis can clear a 6ft high obstacle. They can also catch low flying birds. A loose Saluki, is a Saluki in danger of losing it's life Zero's jumping and vocalizing is also typically used by Saluki's that WANT to have a vigorous race around, rough and tumble, or attention. This is a classic example of a clueless Saluki owner, and an "expert" who knows little about sight hounds, especially Salukis. or Afghan hounds.(If she had a Male Afghan hound, someone would already be bitten) But there is one thing she is doing right,that is to have Zero on a harness. Do not trust control of your Saluki,especially a young one to a single collar! A Saluki's neck is as big around as their Skull, they can easily twist out of an ordinary Dog collar. If you want to have a Saluki for years, use two systems of restraint, and be cautious! The number one killer of Salukis in the Western world is Cars. Salukis can be short lived, many die at about ten years of age.. My Saluki Chloe is fourteen, she is the last survivor of a litter of nine pups. Essentially I do not find this particular video of much use to the new Saluki owner. Well meaning but missing the basic understanding of Salukis.

not aggressive, just doing his job.

Yeah

I've had 8 greyhounds. Two were extremely shy, but the second they saw another sighthound they were perfectly fine and friendly. First time they saw an Italian greyhound they were very puzzled. It was one of them, but it was different somehow. Love the sight hound family, perfect dogs for a cat person.

Yes I’ve only had my saluki Harley for 2 months and she’s so sensitive so I try to distract and reward before I need to correct and direct her. She’s fab but definitely a learning curve as an owner lol 😂

That's so helpful, I know that I feel like it is only my dog who is like this and I am the bad owner

Good thought. Maybe. We did switch to a 5 meter long line in a more recent session. He's doing great. He can walk around the park, meeting and greeting without any issues now.

Hi Jason, Saluki's are a lovely breed but like all breeds they have their own personality traits. They're often independent dogs and have a high desire to chase which can cause them to get frustrated easily. This tends to be true of any sighthound breed though.

@@NickBenger I really appreciate it.

Hey Meghan, be sure to watch the second video here for the resolution. There are two steps for overcoming this kind of reactivity reengagement with you on lead and resocialisation so the desire to be social is satisfied.

How do you exercise a Saluki sufficiently in NYC? Are you running laps around Central Park? You can‘t even let him off leash in the city, can you?

advise on what? u want ur dog to bark?

"If I do not hunt better than them, basically, it's a shit show." Good way to put it. I've very seldom had to walk multiple dogs at the same time, but I have noticed that the key to getting reactive/nervous dogs to cooperate nicely on a walk is to be see things before they see it. I keep telling the dog "yeah, I see that poodle/lab/spitz, I'll handle it". And then of course praise when they've passed nicely. The last dog I semi-regularly walked was a Dachshund that was very nervous/aggressive/skittish with other dogs. Absolute key for the first few walks when I hadn't seen her in awhile was to be really observant and let her know that all other dogs around us are MY problem. Then she usually gradually relaxed, and it was only occasionally that she showed any signs of reacting to other dogs. (At home she usually walked with a big laid-back Lab, and I thought this was part of why she was so nervous when I walked her alone. This might have been the case with her own family, but the few times I walked both dogs together she was even more aggressive/nervous, she really really didn't want other dogs anywhere near us. It was like the Lab was her special companion and no other dog should even look at us. Getting that Dackel to understand that other dogs weren't her problem was intense if she had her Lab with her.)

@@Asptuber I know completely where you come from. The problem over here, is that with multiple dogs, when you have to pick up their poo, and with street corners, it can be unpredictable. But I guess it makes sense that they won't trust us as pack leaders, if we do not do their job better.

Been there with my Salukis !

Yeah

totally agree, he also needs to run .

Umm, Salukis are also quite happy being Couch Potatoes, and Bed spreads. But my Saluki's fenced (5ft) and (6ft) run is 3/4 of an acre

@@joebee1558 yeah, ok.

You’re meeting aggression with aggression - what’s that teaching the dog? To fear you.

How to loose a saluki.

😑😑😑

please don't get yourself a Saluki

@@AJay-gr6ht Completely wrong interpretations of the Saluki's intent
