yelping is just the dogs equivalent of the horse biting at the bit.

I wudnt say starting him early on rabbits would sour him but i let the muscles fully develop before giving him too many runs.

at 8 months old mate its far to young imo. the dog does it because he knows the rabbit is pulling away from him and the dog is getting pissed off. if i was you i would leave him for a few months until he gets abit faster and gets better mentally..........

I had the same problem with a young dog, have you tried giving it the OBE treatment, this is the best way of dealing with this problem, 100% that he will never made a sound after it.
