Anyone else heard of a ghost dog in norwich or is my boyfriend making it up?

Answer 1

Further to the above, there have been reports of uncanny black dogs all over England, and particularly in East Anglia, for over a thousand years; in the eastern counties the spectral hound is known as "Old Shuck" or "Black Shuck" - the term "shuck" coming from "scucca", the Anglo-Saxon for demon.

I can't find any reports of him being seen in Norwich, but the Norfolk Shuck is more sinister than the Suffolk hound. "He is an awful creature, as black as ebony, whose fiendish howls have been heard above the shrieks of the wildest gales." Even today, motorists have reported swerving to avoid the hellhound crossing the road.

There is a popular saying in Norfolk that no one can set eyes on Black Shuck and live. In East Anglia generally, when anyone was dying, people used to say "the Black Dog is at his heels".

Unlike dogs of this world, Black Shuck seems more attached to places than to people. He has always walked alone, loping along river banks and lonely roads, or leaping over churchyard walls and vanishing among the tombstones. The appearance and characteristics of Black Shuck vary from place to place; he seems to emerge from his secret lair only at dusk, and is usually described as a shaggy creature the size of a calf, easily recognisable by his saucer-sized eyes weeping green or red fire.

For those of you from Essex, your Shuck is a kindly hound and has been known to protect travellers on lonely roads. Only his habit of haunting the sites of ancient gallows and graveyards is evidence that he is a demon dog...

Answer 2

Not Norwich, but there's one in Norfolk. In fact, it's said to have inspired Siir Arthur Conan Doyle to write "The Hound of the Baskervilles"

"The Links Hotel, has had inspiration for creative minds in the past. It is known that in 1901 following a conversation with a local, about a famous local ghost dog called Black Shuck, which haunts the coast hereabouts, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a letter, whilst staying at the hotel, saying he had an idea for “ a real creeper”. Following his visit, Doyle and friend Bertram Fletcher Watson did further research of a similar story in Dartmoor and ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ was born. Initially serialised in The Strand magazine, it was then released as a book the following year. "

But Norwich apparently has some plain old human (or once was human) ghosts:

"What the Adam and Eve pub does have going for it big time in the spring/summer season is that it's the starting (and end) point for the very excellent, guide-led Norwich Ghost walks, which are worth a punt."

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/NzvHv

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.
