unusual commands

[polonose00 21]

anyone got any unusual commands they use just to make life easier not just for coursing?

ill start it off with one im working on with the pup now, "open"(mouth) and for a hand signal i do the one people do for like blah blah blah.

iv got a terrier with epilepsy so she needs a half tablet morning and night but ever since i got the lurcher pup she thinks she is missing out on some kind of treat every morning and night so she is dieing to get at the tablets i couldnt just put in the food or push it down the terriers throat cos she is a bugger for hiding it in the lips,gums and beard. and itll en up on the floor then quick as flash in the pups tummy.

so when i got the pup, the terrier had to learn that command but i can see it coming in handy for any medication the pup may need later in life

Not all my dogs are that obedient but they all know what fck off means when I'm having dinner.

hahah trust me they arent always that good, its something iv really focussed on cause i cant be having the pup gobbling up tablets not meant for her.

plus they get a treat afterwards and shes very food motivated

My dad has a command for his collie. It's of no actual use but finds it funny when new guests come around 

If my dad does this 

To the collie she runs around jumping on and off everybody's lap like a lunatic . When you catch his start doing it you protect your crotch instantly

Dont see alot of folk teaching there dog to go under an obstacle like a gate obviously if theres no way u der you expect them to jump but i learned recently even an experienced dog can come a cropper jumping alot

When I find some food or another missing the words "you thieving b*****d" have my 2 diving for cover.

My pack all understand "gone" which means, leave that scent, game of ball is over, squirrell has disappeared etc etc.

They also know "Back" which means we turn round and go back the way we came.

Can't say they understand/obey much else though 

 

Cheers, D.

With pack caught rabbits I say 'mine' and they all let go: obviously I only say it once I've got hold of the rabbit myself. 'Under' and 'over' obstacles: saves daft dogs trying to jump stuff laced with loose wire on the top. I also say 'it's gone' if they haven't seen a rabbit come out of cover and are still looking for it.

i believe this pack mentality don't give the Lur her folk a good turn, find it difficult to get my head round this type a hunting I was in all probability schooled correctly fecking running twos threes on rabbs etc even the heavy stuff needs tobetotally single to have any thoughts of a decent animal inmyways a thinking .i suppose it Cana be down to the majority of jukels just the handlers how they go about entering etc, in yrs gone by I often thought of the trashi owned and culled only in these later yrs they were in all probability far superior to some of these modern trained animals,being a stickler and striving da the very best I now believe his pointless the new age some not Young have gone about there hunting this way Since the beginning,fa those that go about lurcher ing in the correct manner don't feel inferior  the majority of these so called experts are substandard  handlers fact ya either got it or bring  out the pack atb bunnys.

This was my cocker searching for wounded ducks in a flooded field,when ducks are wounded they will dive on water which makes them very difficult to find,I learnt him this by chucking dummy's in clear shallow water,at first he would look at me for a command and I would just encourage him buy saying get ya daft fxxking head in the water and it just clicked.

Wee wees, speak, jump (straight up), get on... plus all the normals (sit, stay, down, fetch, leave etc)

The only one out of all of those commands this prick understands and obeys..... is wee wees ffs ? 

I had a staff that could find almost anything you wanted and retrieve it to your hand just by naming It, be it rabbit, keys or remote control and she was always listening. Once told my ex I had a couple of rabbits outside next to the door waiting to be cleaned, the dog flys outside to retrieve one into the kitchen to hand. Miss that little star!

Daily exercise/mooching about with more than one dog doesn't mean to say that each dog isn't or can't be worked individually either ferreting, lamping or, in the old days, coursing. Taking a group of dogs out together is just a good way to keep them occupied and reasonably fit as far as I'm concerned.
