dog opening up advice

[alcamy22 7]

one of the lads took on a free dog the other week he brought it out the other night its two yrs old now ran the first rabbit ok second one fine caught the second and on the third and fourth he had a few yapps its not speed related as the dog went on to catch the third and fourth rabbit just wondering can you work yapping out of a dog as hes not in the game of getting rid of dogs its his now for good but would be a absolute cracker if it didnt sound at all

 

have any of you lads had a dog that you have sucessfully stopped yapping or even had a dog that yapped that just stopped yapping

 

has anyone tried anything to stop a dog yapping with any specific methods like

 

any suggestions are appreciated

Seen it in younger dogs some stopped some didn't might be at two year old it's ingrained in the dog

[alcamy22 7]

agreed it might be ingrained however the previous owner was an old man and health has stopped him lamping or mooching about so the dog hasnt been lamped for over 10 months its not like the dog was out all the time opening up

could just be excitment if hes not done anything for 10 months. only time and regular nights out will answer your question.

i had the same problem with my dog when i started to lamp with him he was yapping every now and again he was about 12 month old

 

try taking him out with the ferrets and get him a few kills by bolting the bunnys after my dog had a few regular mouth fulls he stoped the yapping when out lamping

Exactly, 10 months would lead to lots of built up frustration, give him lotss of work on easy bunnies...........

Don't quite see why ferreted bunnies would help as opposed to lamped bunnies? Surely lamped bunnies on favourable ground for the dog are much easier to catch than bolted ones, therefore the increased catches and success would tell you sooner if the problem is solvable?

you say the dog hasnt worked in 10mths? is the dog fit fit? not just walking fit? could also just be keen for the catch? get him working, nice easy slips and gradually build them up, seen dogs yap through sheer frustration at not having the lungs for a few slips, its ok having the speed for the kill but it also needs the lungs to keep going!

A rabbit running away from home is easier to catch than one which is running for home: think about it............rabbit bolts from ferret, and unless there is another warren very close by it will be running scared, thinking about what it is running away from rather than where it is running to. Makes it easier for the dog. Rabbit running for home on the lamp is on its 'home' run, knows exactly where it is going: much harder for dog.

 

Has to be said though, bolting from ferrets only works if you have open warrens in the middle of nowhere: doesn't work so well along hedgerows where the rabbit can do a slalom in and out of hedge or if it makes a beeline for a wood which isn't too far away. Rabbits always run for cover if there is any.
