socks 32,253 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) took cara out on wednesday for some one on one training ... picked a particular spot thats full of dog walkers so the pup could get some more sociolising and there would be less chance of any gane being about ........ we were only there 5 mins when the pup took a line towards a small bit of cover she pushed her nose in and a half grown rabbit bolted out of the other side .... for a second the pup just stood watching it which i was glad about as i obviously dont want her chasing rabbits yet ... then she just took off low to the ground and stretching out to full speed .... the rabbit stupidly decided to try and head straight for its warren without putting a bend in ... the bitch closed on it struck and grabbed it with her first attempt .... i left her for about 10 seconds to get a proper hold on it ... i gave her a quick whistle and she came trotting in head held high and delivered her prize directly into my hand ..... first chase a catch and retrieved live to hand .... i just hope this continues when she is older ...... HERE SHE IS AFTER THE CATCH .......... Edited July 11, 2009 by socks Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 you need to concentrate on one pup mate your old fella on another one and somebody else on the third you CANNOT train 3 pups together ... they need to be taken out on their own so that there is no distraction and you are working one on one with them ... 3 pups together will just ignore you and feck around together ... its a no win situation ... ask your old fella to give chicky a ring and get him up to give you some advice i have taught him well ............. i was torn between that the little black bitch and cara when i whent to collect her .... and i was leaning more towards the black pup but in the end chose cara simple because i already have a black dog in the kennel ..........
