Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 leave it 3 months and take it out alone, its only a pup and sometimes they want to play or run with the other dog. nothing worse then your pup acting up in front of a mate. i would leave it until sep/october Quote Link to post
mrgreyhound 0 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 i was just saying she dosent play around with the other dog she will c the other dog run and then run back to me and sit down next t me and never take her out running or walking with anuther dog that was the last and only time just to she if she could see what to do and pick it up from the other dog ..

maty j 6 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) 8 month Is still very much a pup and can do serious damage If overtaxed. Are you expecting the youngster to go running down the beam like a seasoned pro? It ain't gonna happen. Take her out on her own when she's ready and find a squatter and walk up to it. If It squats hard and she spots It let her go In - I'd bet 99 times out of a 100 the pup wont so It will probably try to give legs before you get too close. She should then see It and be off. If she doesn't see It no worries, go find another and repeat process but try to get in on the rabbit quicker. Remember to get Inbetween the cover and the coney to give the pup a greater chance of sucess and there's no rush... I find a few rtreives on the tennis ball using the lamp helps too to get them used to following the beam. Edited July 19, 2009 by maty j Quote Link to post

peacockks 2 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 all pretty sound advice, just take your time . i'm still unsure of the 9 mth old dogs that were lamping, retrieving live and all but driving the car home after a night out. us lesser mortals must be doing it wrong!! peacockks Quote Link to post

You can flick the lamp on them and they won't have a clue whats going on. Most will either sqaut hard - I just keep the beam held high In the air so theres a smaller spot of light on the rabbit and then just walk In at a brisk pace dog on slip. This time of year you should be able to get real close before there bottle goes. Some will just hop around In the beam not giving a shit. I'd give them a miss for now as there allready on the move. Your dog will see them easier but there not so easy to catch as the green quatters and as you probably know, too much failure at the start can ruin a good dog. Don't forget 8 month Is still very young.. Quote Link to post
