Navek thanks a lot mate going to take up on that advice, I have a decent football pitch hedged off one side wooden panels other side, be ideal as there is bunnies by the dozen, many squatters, don't think the field gets lamped at all to be honest, will keep repeating your process knocking of the lamp and calling him back. Cheers bud appreciate your feedback ?

He's a good looking dog you got there mate has a look of my boy I recently acquired, currently just trying to build that bond up with him so he doesn't hunt up on his first outing, any advice would be hugely appreciated ??

He seems to respond to a sharp whistle a little more than any shout, previous owner told us he's called jake, I guess he's never have shouted it like as he doesn't respond one bit to the word ?

Cheers our lad has 3/8th bull running through him also, this is what I'm scared of don't want him to hunt up and run off on his own, he goes a at least a five-ten mile walk every night wth other non working dogs, was thinking of investing in a spring loaded rabbit try him a few times on a closed field, like unsaid he has been on his lead and that don't wonder too far but I'm just real wary about letting him slip and he just goes hunt up. Is there any specific techniques in training him or is it just persistent bonding with him ? All/any advice hugely appreciated

Hi all As I have recently acquired a very nice 14 month old lurcher, he came from good stock both parents good strong workers, however I'm just uncertain on his recall if and when I let him slip on the lamp, he's been with us just under 3 weeks now being taken on long walks over some good ground, he instantly kicks in ears pricked and eyes scanning anything and everything, how long will take for him to become obedient to us, we've had him on enclosed rugby field he never took off he just stayed within a couple metres of us head down trying to pick up a scent, obviously the test will be wh
