rickyspringer 15 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 is the rabbit warm ie just killed or cold?? If Its just killed go back a step and practice with cold game, sit in a alley way or the like and throw a cold rabbit, loads of fuss be on the dogs level see how that goes... little steps and you will get there. don't over do the retrieves because the dog will get bored Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rickyspringer 15 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ive tried that mate she just runs up to it and mouths it.like i say she will retrieve rabbit skinned dummy with no problems shes 15 month now tough one mate, if you've done that, you may have done too much, stop with the retreiving completely, no dummies,no balls,no rabbit. The more you do the more you will spoil, give it a few weeks then use a dead rabbit once, see how she goes with that make a huge fuss of the rabbit a lil' tease of it, then throw it out cast her off and see how she goes, don't talk to her until she has picked it up, recall and a big fuss if she completes the task. Take it slow mate, if she does it once leave it at that with a huge fuss, then do it again the week after.Good Luck hopefully it will work out, keep us informed also.

blackpack 70 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 as said catch a rabbit and use that one to retrieve. Some dogs just dont do it mate with caught game. Hope it comes good for you mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
