  1. im sure i have read on this site that you can get a collar then sends a shock everytime the dog yaps??? Has anyone ever heard of this? But then again i wouldnt want the dog thinking its getting a shock everytime it chases a rabbit??
  2. You would know if it was proper yapping!! my dog has a problem yapping lol
  3. a bullx that some one has put a name on. no more no less. Nice 1
  4. Enjoyed reading that story and it made me smile.haha I bet it just spooked the dog when it stopped. Ill never forget my inexperianced ferret chasing a rat up and out a hole, when the rat stumbled a faced the ferret. the ferret bricked it, though my friend never with his .177.
  5. No doubt that you would be digging your ferret out and someone will walk over, so you cant even run off!
  6. Straight whippet, coming up to a year old, my first dog
  7. Yeh personally i cant see him changing, but hes my first dog, i will learn from it, as maybe i shouldnt of let him off the lead so young, because he used to chase the rabbits where i walk, but with the cover and his lack of age he had no chance, adding to the problem. You live and learn, but not writing the him off just yet, he hasnt had a proper nights work yet lol cheers
  8. I just use cat litter in the corner they wee and poo in and just a a small old blanket for them to sleep, was put off by straw a long time ago....ticks are horrible things, a dab of whiskey and a set of tweezers to sort them out
  9. Only just read these latest comments, he has been off for a month with a injury(cut paw) so i have been lead walking him quite a bit and i am going to start again with him, see how that goes!! Thanks again
  10. Thanks for the replys, think i will leave off them for a while, then when i go ferreting in a few weeks we'll see what hes up to then. I have seen people advertising collars that give them a shock when he barks?? Didnt want him to be a silent dog or him to think that hes gettin shocked everytime he chases a rabbit!
  11. Hi When out walking my 10 month out whippet(My first dog), it is quite often that he discovers himself or i see a bunny for him to chase. Its becoming frustrating that he gets very close, but not close enough. I understand that hes only young and still learning but the thing that i believe is letting him down is the fact that he barks when chasing. It appeared at first that it was an excited bark, but now i think its becoming aggressive because he is becoming frustrated when he doesnt catch a rabbit. He is a very game dog and doesnt give up easily, but the cover at the minute is v
  12. I dont have a choice mate, theres been a few occasions when i have been walking at dusk and a fox as broke and hes gone after it. Nothing i can do really because hes off the lead and he dont listen to me when hes after something lol. Though i understand what u mean, i wouldnt want him having a bad experience and being put off. Fox aint on the menu for me so id be happy if he never caught one, though he is definately capable of it. Thanks for the advice,try and few of the basic methods for now. The lads i see lamping around here have a red light and its knowhere near as bright as the
  13. I have a pure Whippet that is 10 months old, and he is my first dog. Out on casual walks around dusk he has chased anything from mice>fox when off the lead as i just let him do his thing bouncing around the bushes etc. Over time i have allowed him to get into a few bad habits, and the main one that is worrying me is with all his excitment to get to the fields/woods he pulls really hard on the lead. Could somebody give me some training tips for me to try and stop this? Also when lamping rabbits do you use a lamp with a red filter on it and if so why? I am 21 and have
  14. Ok mate thats for that, going to have a good read now.
