if your lamping then the best thing to do is switch your lamp off and call your dog in,or better still is train it to come straight back when the lamp has switched of.

try flashing the lamp at your feet mate it sometimes grabs the dogs attentoin ..

Assuming the dog has a good recall naturally, it should not be a problem.

 

What I would do get the dog out at night and doing training rather than lamping, just recalls, and heel work.

 

If the dog runs a rabbit and hunts up, turn the light off, give the recall, if the dog continues to hunt up, walk off out of the field, and head for the car. The dog will come back to you. Then go straight home. It wont take the dog long to realise that hunting up means the end of the night.

 

Best thing though is get the recall 100% anywhere, night or day.

 

Good luck
