useful stuff - thanks she's got some recall...knows her name, comes when called, often from distance but then something happens (usually in a hedgerow) and she's off. comes back after 5 mins or so but worrying while she's out of sight and all control goes out the window. no probs with sheep/livestock - ignores them completely. we'll keep working - can't stand the thought of her spending a life on a lead and i'll check out jim's site.

Just taken on a rescue lurcher bitch about 3-4 years old and struggling somewhat with recall! She'll return happily for a while but once the ears go up, she ain't listening and won't come back 'til knackered. Any help on improving her recall much welcomed - I know she's going to run and chase but a bit more control over things would make life a lot safer for her. final thing - and please don't shoot me down, if she gets hold of a rabbit, how do I kill it quickly and humanely? thanks b
