No, mate, opposite end of the country to me.

The Border & Coquetdale Coursing Club, (Greyhounds ), was on my doorstep and I attended their meets.

Cheers.

It's easy and a common mistake  to equate yipping in dogs to frustration when it is actually often  a call for attention.

This vocal behaviour in running dogs is frowned upon but   would be considered a good trait in some other working breeds . It let's the handler know where the game is holed up  ,or at bay ,or where it is heading during an unseen chase. 

It also serves to call other dogs to its  aid or to share the hunt. And l see you work two dogs together......

So in the case of your holed up rabbits he probably really  is calling you to bring the ferrets over!

When he marks, sit with him while the ferret works, calm him when he squeaks, let him go when the bunny bolts. 

He might just start to realise that a quiet mark gets results.

Think positively too. If he seems to be calling to you it means he considers you a useful ally.  

Good luck

 

Positive thinking, appreciate that

I've told you catching day time bunny without being bolted by ferrets or snaffled on ruff ground ,brambles etc are harder than taking hare,

Round my way you walk all day and you won't be taking a bunny out in the open but they hares a plenty and I've had busher types take them

Lucky to see a rabbit here but any idiot should know a daytime bunny going for home is a hard target compared to one running from home
