baldockbanks courser 598 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Training went well bitch fetched tennis balls and rabbit skin dummies back and will even rump long net and fences with them. when she catches shes very soft mouthed to the point of droping the odd one. No problems up close but on long catches always carrys at first but wont come in and ends up crunching once she puts them down and they keep making half run offs till she re catches them. was really optimistic after the trainning cant see what else I could have done.? Apart from that shes doing well people cant beleive how well she works with ferrets unbelievable for a saluki lurcher had plenty of rs and h on lamp turns on a six pence run all night, just wont fetch back Not Even two till may only first season working just hope she setteles in time. any Ideas please?

undisputed 1,664 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 If she's just started doing it she may come away from it on her own. Avoid making a fuss and try walking away from her when she catches Quote Link to post
jf1970 328 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 sounds as if she is still being a pup, i'm by no means an expert, but give her time and show her plenty of rabbits, my pup done this with her first few rabbits, but she will retrieve now. Quote Link to post

Its not natural for them to bring back, people forget they aint gundogs labs...... which is more natural for them. You have done nothing wrong, because they know differnce from dummy to live stuff . And the dummy is just a (game) to them, live quarry 100% differnt ball game. This is one thing in trainng you can not make a dog do if it (dont) want to fact! It might bring back if it catchs alot and the novelty wheres off, but as i say it can go the other way and they can catch or kill where they catch As i say ive had colliexs, bullxs all do great catch+retrieve loads of rabbits season after season. Then one night they think feck this after 15 odd runs, and start dropping short 3/4-1/2 way. they do it(retrieve) because they want to Quote Link to post
