Try HERE, These should sort you out mate, will last a hell of a lot longer than a spring, less recoil and less noise than the spring. , But make sure you get the right one
Don't see why a dog has to be off the slip for it to jump a fence or gate, why can't it jump when it's still on the slip.
Must say it's a lot easier if a dog is working without a slip. I find it fairly easy to train them to do that when they're working solo, not so easy when they're out working with another dog.
When your carrying a lamp and battery and have a dog on the slip and need to get over a fence or barbed wire it's best to keep the dog on the slip?
I think that's making things very difficult to be honest !
Unless it a long slip lead!
I think that if a gamekeeper/farmer catches you on his/her land/shoo then they can ask for your name and address and a gamekeeper can confiscate all of your equipment. A clever farmer/gamekeeper will take all of your stuff because he/she know you will not go to the police because you sholdent have been there in the first place.
Dont you think that more people trying to train their dog to lamp with no slip will result in more running dogs being sold on by owners who have no patients.
Using a slip just saves time training the dog to walk to heel off the slip at night but if i was patient enough then i would probably have a go at it, but i do not mind the slip lead at all, and will probably use a slip lead at night all of my lamping time but ferreting the dog is always off the slip.
Theres a nosey farmer that is a keen hunter and a keen t**t to and will probably nick a few if he could so i will have to be careful of how i go about it, but thanks anyways guys!
Well if a phesant is on your land its clased as yours but make a good eviroment for em and thell be good do you own the land?
Father owns the land all of which the ponds are on. So i should be ok, nothing much to worry about but wouldn't like the other farmer to nick the birds !
