Flash was adopted from the racetrack in West Memphis, AR two years ago this summer. Weather permitting, we go to the doggie park as much as is possible. He has never learned to play. He will chase the other dogs running after a ball, frisbee, etc, but will never try to pick the object up himself. I have tried teaching him how to play in the back yard, but he doesn’t respond. Any ideas?
Is lure coursing bad for them? When Flash was adopted we had to sign papers saying he would never race again. Does this get too close to “racing”? I’ve heard of groups getting together to do lure coursing but don’t know much more than that.
