welshdragen 9 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 hold the rabbit in your hand mate and tell her to drop then blow in her ear she will drop it straight away, after a couple of times of doing it she will start letting go when you have got hold of it. yeah i tell her dead when she comes back and if it still alive and squealin in her mouth she bites harder untill its dead but eavon if dead still wont drop it i will give it a go open to any segestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I take it this is a young bitch just learning her trade? Whatever you do don't get cross with her as that may stop her retrieving. When she comes to you, take the rabbit's hind legs in one hand, don't try and pull it away from her, praise her and as you do use your other hand, finger and thumb to just pinch the web of skin at the front of her hind leg where it joins her body: do it very quickly so she doesn't realise what you've done and she'll immediately open her mouth to whip round at the thing she thought 'stung' her. Praise her immediately for letting go of the rabbit: this has never failed to work for me with even a stubborn dog, but you must do it fast and as hard as you need to and whip your hand away again so she doesn't realise its you doing it.
