Jude 83 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Anybody have much bother with a dog hunting up after a chase on the lamp? My dog hasn't been to bad when there's not much rabbits about but when on anything else or a lot of rabbits about he will rake up the full field. Still a young dog, hopefully the more running he gets it will stop Quote Link to post

milliken 790 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Best thing to do is pick easy runs for him in fields with only little pockets of rabbit As soon as he catches or misses keep the lamp of call his name or whistle what ever he recalls to once back on lead make big fuss of him and move on in no time he will be flying back But if he misses dont keep lamp on following him round the field Quote Link to post
Jude 83 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 He's a bull grey/ saluki collie grey type, was keen to use his nose from a early age. I should have discouraged it more and got out with the lamp earlier so partly my fault. I also do a fair bit of bushing ect which doesn't help matters, suppose can't have the best of both worlds. Seen other dogs that not been lamped before straight back after a miss instead of crashing through hedges, over fences and into woods ect so just depends on the dog I suppose. Dog is only young so still time yet Quote Link to post
