i had a spell when mine would then decided he wouldnt stubourn,i put it down to lol.

what i cured mine with was to give him some encouragement.if he never played ball,i used to turn away and walk off in the opposite direction.then he used to leave rabbit and race back.id walse him back to the rabbit and put it in my sack then walk again to where i origanaly was lol.sounds a bit arse about tit .but he has finnaly dropped the penny.and only give praise when he starts to realise.and no responce or anything if it dont.iam no trainer lol but i got their in the end he brings back to 5ft now and he gets the praise

i tried all that with my dog as a pup and he just wouldnt take to it.he always had to be stubborn as i saw it .i dont think he would now even tho he does the rabbit now

take it you will be using a softer voice not to scare rabbits.ive been their lol.

youve got to assert that aurthority even if you raise your voice just to steady her so you can get hold as i had to a few times,when you take the rabbit have a little shake with it in her mouth bit of old tug and war.then they see a play side too.i still do it with mine somtimes he enjoys it even.but thats half of it getting them to enjoy returning to you.and if you scare that field of bunnys their will still be a few in the next field.patients and alot of it i used to get mine right many a night i came home telling missus the dogs going lol now i wouldnt part.or try the ball or your boot shoe somthing that smells of you so they think of bringing back .and all the luck ive needed lol how old is she mate

cheers mate .shes 15months shes doing really well except that shes also had a few runs on them big bunnies would hav got them only there was 3 dogs on it and kept getting bumped so if she would start bring them back it would be the perfect dog.

well mines just come good oer the last 2 months and thats taken time he has just turned15/16 month but alot with him he was slow to mature only started cocking his leg last month so ive put abit down to that too.ive had 4 longears single handed in last month.i wouldnt run him doubled up unless was a dog of my own.i want him to learn alone on them ive really been having to hold myself back with them.mates been saying he is ready for months but im giving him good time with them.but i do have to get on him to get them off him or he does rip into them.possibly the different squeel i dont no but he loves that game i hope she comes good its nice when they do.
