just started taking my Pat dog beating on the land that I work,he's not really a beating dog,far from it he keeps attacking all the labs/spaniels but I run the beaters and do all vermin/P/T keeper on the shoot and so on,anyhow he love's it runs around like a silly chews all the Pheasants/Partridge he can catch and the one's that have been shot (idiot)now all of a sudden he's stopped doing that and he has started bringing them back to me without a mark on them. still does the biz on other quarry but not with birds,does anybody have a Patt that will retrieve? the boy loves it

not sure on dogs going to ground?any advice
Rik replied to foxtail's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
all depends on whether or not you are on land that you have permission to be on,if yes then its not much of a problem,does your dog have locator on, if not you could loss your dog If your just out and about walking then sometimes accidents happen and if its just a rabbit hole then the only problem is losing your dog with no locator on how you going to get to it if it gets stuck -
Mine used to do that with dogs now he's not to bad, took me ages to break the habit though so good luck mate it WILL be frustrating but its worth it in the end, i use his ball as a distraction around other dogs, if he it to focus on then he is great just plays fetch constantly, or bounces round with the big dog, but if i dont have the ball its head down looking for stuff with the other terrier and ears off lol overall though im really pleased with him as to start with he would just bolt off and i had to go get him, now he does come back unless he is onto something like this morning

tried long leads,and she comes back,keeping her on the lead, walks fine got the sit got the stay all fine, always feed with other dogs no problem,no quarry/sent around comes back every time give her a treat and plenty of fuss off she goes again call/whistle her back no problem,but as soon as she gets the sent of something GONE I shout S T A Y come here F##Kin dog deaf as a post not a chance in hell of stopping her she will return when the sent is lost and if she picks up another sent it takes her further away, bolt on the landscape The trouble is the dog works fantastic hunts like a goodun

The bitch I lost the other week is really doing my head in she just wont come back when she is hunting,its a cracking little dog hunts up really well she is only 5+ months old but I keep losing her it gets its nose down and F**Ks off Ive tried everything to train her including treats on return what else can I do,the women who found her wants to buy her off me for a pet,should I persevere with it or sell and get another,do you think she will settle down as she gets older or will she always do this really dont want to get rid but its really winding me up having to wait all the time for her to

Ive been training her for the last 2wks by giving her a treat on return and its been working,9 times out of 10 she will return but if she is on the sent of quarry she go's deaf I typed yet and should have typed eye! What was wrong with her eye that they were giving her something for it? And just keep going with the training then, she should be 100% consistent for a couple of months before you try it off lead, do it in small sessions and always keep it positive with her. It is harder for guys, but if speaking in a higher pitched voice wouldn't freak you out, give it a try rather th
