As already said incidents such as these are more about how the dog feels in or around your space than anything else The dog is bringing in a catch, it feels a certain way it feels flow , gets to within 10 feet or so has to change its state of mind , it has to go from one state of mind to another because somewhere it incountered fear A sensitive dog goes from feeling predator like to feeling prey like in or around you and it can't fit you and bunny in the same frame of reference it's too highly prized f**k away the bowl, a desire overcomes fear and hand feed what the dog believes is hi

Any pup is open to programming a routine on, I didn't worry about the trap that people feel they need to keep a pup occupied when not around , a pup doesn't need to be kept jollied along to be content with itself on its own Even if you walk in the morning , in time what your doing is programming an expectancy for the pup to arise and feel energised at an ungodly hour at the weekend when you fancy a leg over or sleep on , A pup needs very little human contact , couple of hours a day is plenty shown in studies to grow up completely social in every aspect, too much stimulation can cause

The yanks used them in WW 2 espically in the Pacific campaign , with all the news reel reports and pics of the dob's and soldiers patriotic homeowners in the fifties went f***ing loopy for them When any dog is not bred for purpose your actually breeding a flaw in the works , I cringe when I see" bred for friendliness " friendliness is a defensive mechanism it's not a grounded feeling in the dog , if you have ever see a true hard well bred animal he is so cock sure of himself defensive displays of weakness are not on his agenda And dobs got bred for friendliness

Pups at that age mate are attracted to stimulation with more vigour then is socially acceptable, it not you it's not him it's natures programming , it's actually a reflex you need to work with later in life don't corrupt it I don't know how long I'm on this site now but for years I've been trying to get folks not to stimulate or play with pups in their home , pups make associations with environments you don't want the pup believing the house is a f***ing playground bud Inside calm outside play and on that note don't over stimulate the little f****r either My biggest tip would be ha

What motivated you to work with mink in particular, plenty of dogs birds game /wildlife / space to choose from over there And another one, is the dog hunting for the mink , what I mean by that is you seems to be more set up for the mink to catch with the carrying box doubling as a catch box and the dog taking a side seat for you to watch the mink work , the reverse of overhere

No better animal to pick up a signal like a dog , give her a signal when you spot a bunny , it won't be long before she can chain the sound you make with a rabbit appearing I prefare a dog to run on command if he is running on command he is activity looking for movement on the run out, Experience will sharpen it all up then in time

My Lurcher And Mink Hunting Rats Together
Casso replied to Minkenry's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Oh, I'm sure the goose could physically fly away with a mink, the problem is the mink quickly climbs up the goose's body and neck, and then bites them on the back of the head or throat area. Just like a little 150 lbs man can control a 1000 lbs horse with a halter tied to the horse's head, or throw an 800 lbs steer by twisting it's nose around (a cowboy sport called "bull dogging" or "steer wrestling"), the mink can control the big goose by hanging onto its head/throat area. I would assume the goose could fly away with the mink if it only hung onto the goose's leg. How do ya get a mink into -

My Lurcher And Mink Hunting Rats Together
Casso replied to Minkenry's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Yes, the box is both to carry the mink, as well as give the mink a place to hide her prey. Whenever she catches something, she is supposed to put it in her box, and when she does I reward her with ground meat. Man I really like your thinking , you're impressive, from working with mink to introducing that box idea I like it very much , keep it up mate it's the most interesting thing on here in ages -
It's a conifidence thing , maturity will strengthen her resolve ,

Nice Bit Of Rain, The Pup Took Full Advantage

What he like been held back with another dog running You've got a lot of dog there programmed for work, what's it like teaching him boundaries -
High drive and game , The two terms are just temperamental differences of the emotional drive to make contact Dogs have died in the field not through running into objects but through pushing their bodies to the point of no return, they were still willing to push through resistance when their own bodies were screaming at them to stop Same as a dog in the pit who will push through the physical resistance of the other dog and its own fatigue to scratch It all comes from the same place the drive to connect in what form that may take To scratch / run you must cover ground, it's

Not a goddam thing to do with disguise, I would be very surprised if disguising yourself as a 2 foot high fox shit would be the stealthest way to approach a bunny or anything else, Have a Russel here who if she doesn't chew up a spider will roll on it , again not sure exactly how many spiders she fools but she gets an odd one the crafty beggar ?

The olfactory system is linked into the motor cortex and just as the same as when a stimulated dog has to move , the scent provides a stimulus that the dog wants to make contact with , if he can't ingest it , pressing his body against it is the next best thing , there is no thinking involved , prey animals shite he can ingest other than that he has to make contact if stimulated enough

The relationship is the key, having the dog comfortable in your space The dummy is causing to much excitement for him to channel it to you , and the ball is been dropped because hes changing his state of mind in your space , just imagine him feeling a certain way when he has the items to himself there is no negative in his near vicinity as he approaches you or you approach him he starts feeling a little pressure a lot or zero pressure it's all in how the dog feels about us Put him on a long line , get 2 of everything , doesn't getanything until he makes contact with you , he gets secon

To what level mate You can train a bird to come to a signal for food but all your really doing is getting it to release its fear the intellence is already there, The real question is how far can you push it before it's natural fear based instincts kick in for both bird and wolf , social to man is not underlining its behavior , unlike a dog who is born with an infinity for humans Is any animal born with fear installed? Is that not taught by the parent over a short period after birth? I actually agree with what you are saying mate...I enjoy your posts. Always very informative. I just felt r

What's the temperment like ? Is it forward pup?? it doesn't sound like it , somewhere deep down I wonder if he wants it enough , if he hasn't had a whack off something or he doesn't fully get the hunting thing yet only you know He may mature into it by the end of this winter you should be well able to tick his box ,

What have ya gone and rooted up now ?This whole site is a testament that dogs(Domesticated) not Wolves (Wild) are an animal drawn to hunt with others thereby creating a social bond in doing so Let me break this down , there is a bird called a Harris hawk in the wild it hunts in groups , that is a fairly unique system for a bird of prey but because of this social aspect it has become a real bird of choice for a lot of falconers around the globe in a relatively short space of time , its social element has got zero to do with domestication and lots to do with its hunting habits .. Try a cat mat
