Boom 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I SEE IT AS STUPID BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN DOGS GET A SHOCK OF AN E COLLAR WHEN THEY ARE CHASING, A LOT OF PEOPLE USE THEM TO STOP DOGS CHASING SHEEP OR LIVESTOCL. WHEN THE DOG GETS A SHOCK IT WILL JUMP WITH SURPRISE, FRIGHT, IT MIGHT SQUEAL OR YELP IF THE SETTING ON THE COLLAR IS HIGH OR THE DOG IS WET IF ITS OUT LAMPING IN THE RAIN WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS USUALLY THE DOG QUITS THE CHASE AND COMES BACK TO YOU WITH TAIL BETWEEN LEGS OR IT MIGHT RUN OFF THE OTHER WAY KEEP ON DOING THIS AND THE DOG WILL MAKE A LINK IN ITS MIND BETWEN THE SHOCK AND CHASING THE RABBIT fair enuff.. just for the record useing a E COLLER to stop there dogs running BEAST/LIVE STOCK has got to be the stupidest thing i've also heard of.

VODAFONE 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 iv got the same cross and mine started to yap . But mine had a bump out the garden and put him out for 6/8 weeks hes fine now but its more or less stopped except when he misses a strike or the rabbit turns sharp and got to make up lost ground but then its only one little yap thats it . But that not all the time once every few week Quote Link to post
brock 11 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 everyones biggest fear when running their pups for the first couple of sessions lamping,my first lamping dog used to do it on his first couple of runs,then would quieten down,that was my own fault for running him at 5 months old ,you live and learn.i now dont enter my dogs untill 11 months at the earliest.once they start they never stop in my opinion.owning a yapper is something i would never personally own again but each to their own Quote Link to post
