rapidjenky 97 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 call him back. if he still wont come get out threw the day and work on recall. you have to accept your going to spoil your nights lamping untill the dog dose what you want it to. he will learn after a while that lamp off means get your arse back here. everytime he comes back even if he missed the rabbit tell him he a good lad and put him back on the slip. never tell him off or he wont want to come back to you in the firstplace.

yampydoo 19 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 recall is one of the things any lurcher should learn and it should be !00% you need go and sort the dogs recall out this should of been done from a very early age. with out recall you have not got control of the dog . the dog is telling you not you telling him that's why he hunts up he is using his nose and this is not what you want on the lamp its ok in the day as long as your dog can switch from day work and when its on a lamp .

graham4877 1,181 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 try going out with the lamp on a night time when you walk the dog, try not to hit on a field with loads of game in , lamp on then switch it off and recall, do that over and over again! i had the same problem with the bitch i just lost and she was spot on with her recall on a day time, but soon as the night came and with there being loads more game out, she would take the piss! might take a week to get right might take a month but the dog will get there Quote Link to post
