Retreiving


Recommended Posts

My lurcher dog has caught his first bunny this morning :D He started to retreive then stopped and looked at me as though he is thinking"Ive done all the hard work you come and get it off me" He is 11 month old 1/2 Grey 1/4 Deer 1/8 Saluki 1/8 Whippet. Any advice on how to bring it back to hand would be appriciated.

P.S When i through the dummy for him he brings it back with no problems.

skin the rabbit and use it for a dummy.

otherwise never walk towards the the dog i find slowly walking

away giving lots of praise works wonders.

hopefully the dog was just enjoying the moment and

will improve on the next one best of luck with her

nothing like seing the first catch

all the best

Try this,

tip from a field trials champion trainer (not me!!)

 

when the dof is coming towards you dont look at the dog and look directly down at your feet...

 

the dog will come in right under you to see your face, has worked for me on a few problem dogs...
