reddawn 2,173 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) slowly slowly catch the monkey pal, dont be too worried yet, the dog is young an the rabbits aint, most bunnys about this time of year dont hang around and despite what anybody tells ye, aint easy to catch, especially for a young dog thats as green as the grass beneath the snow.. take ye time an enter your dog to the lamp at the end of the summer or early next season, itll do the dog the world a good, keep the dog winning when ye do start, confidence is paramount to a youngster Edited January 19, 2013 by reddawn 1 Quote Link to post

speedy87 42 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Encourage the dog, with all dogs I've worked I've always made a hissing noise when I want to slip or thereis something ready to bolt and the dogs have learnt to pull forward eyes forward keen as ready for the slip. Don't mess aboutwith dead ones as it does nothing. Slip him/her on a few through the day and hiss or make noiseto encouragethe dog then try at night. I introduce pups with my noise with bones etc. Sounds daft but it works. Atb scott Quote Link to post
