Her desire to interact with every dog she sees, no matter how uninterested it might be and her general issues with recall when distracted are the main things we need to work on. I think the two are linked, we're trying to work on getting her attention and getting her to come to us whenever she is distracted or over stimulated. It's useful that she is very food orientated. We're noticing improvement but if anyone has any tips or advice for working on that sort of thing that'd be great.

Have had very good results with our lurcher pup by giving the highest value treats (e.g. sausage) ONLY when shee comes back on a walk. Take other treats with you for rewarding other behaviour, but let them know you've got the good stuff with you and they'll only get it by returning when you call them. Don't give them the high value treat at any other time, just for recall.

That's exactly what we're trying out at the minute actually! Our walker suggested a rotating selection of high value treats, to be given when she returns to us after calling her back.
