Allex Michael's Response about Ridgeback Training BEFORE You Get a Rhodesian Ridgeback...READ THIS Edited for the web, Desiree and my conversations reveal a great deal about Rhodesian ridgebacks. Behaviors YOU should know about BEFORE getting a ridgeback. Did you have any issues socializing your Rhodie? Mine hit six and a half months old and decided out of the blue that she is wary of strangers, especially men, but still loves victims. This was in spite of heavy-duty prior socialization. I've heard from breeders and rescuers that they go through a freaky adolecent stage but outgrow it at around two.
Any tips on improving the recall and the heel? We've got everything else down, and we've worked extensively on the blasted heel, but we're just not
getting it. With the slightest bit of excitement, she's hauling on the lead. Her recall is reliable but slow and tends toward an "I'm coming but let
me just see if I can't catch this bunny first" attitude.
Any additional info you could give me would be helpful. These are such rare dogs that it's hard to find reliable information, and like I said, I have never met anyone else who works them.

Allex Michael: After seeing the official web site of the Wilderness Search Dog Team, a K-9 handler named Desiree emailed about working with Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Her first SAR dog (search and rescue) was a pit bull, and she is now training a year old ridgeback in the SE United States.

Desiree: How difficult was your Rhodie to train as compared to more popular breeds like bloodhounds, labs or GSDs (German Shepherds)? There is so much breed prejudice in this field!
Playing the search dog, Ebbey has a leading role in the eerie action thriller Search Dog's Raven. Her character is paramount, because the key to unlocking the film's unique twist turns out to be the 'Search Dog's...Raven.
