jf1970 328 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 get him out at night on the lamp, it doesn't matter that it's " out of season" a few easy rabbits to start him of will do his confidence the world of good, not to many runs 2 or 3 to start of with on squatters, instead of having him chase rabbits that he won't catch during the day, concentrate on his recall, retreive, sit, stay ect, do a bit of road walking during the day to keep his fitness up, if you have to take him where there is rabbits, keep him on the leash just for now, you seem to be doing well, keep up the good work atb........john 2 Quote Link to post
