  1. I would be careful with the extending lead. A dog can get to quite a speed and if you yank them there is a risk of injury. The recall and treat in a safe place is a great suggestion, i use this and them when out I change directions all the time call the dog back and reward. Often I walk nowhere but am out for ages. Recall really needs to be spot on before moving on as this is key to everything else that you do so it is really worth spending more time on this until it really is 100%. Good luck nick
  2. Tame rabbits are just that, tame! They do not bolt like wild ones I have a right menagerie, ducks, hens and pheasants I have had rabbits but find that they are no use what so ever. If you have access to a rabbit pen with wild rabbits this is a much better option than a few tames, in my opinion. Nick

  4. If you only have one needs to be a dog. Both of my bitches come into season in shooting season. The dog is always on heat but this is not a problem.
  5. Hi all thanks for reading I have recently moved into the area and more recently taken on my first puppy for several years. I have been training gundogs (retrievers) for over twenty years and have since moving to the area been using parks, lanes, and waste or common ground to keep the training up on my current dogs. However with the new puppy I have now realised that I have some areas missing on which to bring on and develop a new pup. I would like ground that has access to hedgerows, fences, walls, woodland, streams and or a pond and ideally the ground would or be able to hold so
  6. I have found these really good in the past. an't help in your area but I have found the he National Working Terrier Federation really helpful when my vet retired. Contacts on the web site at http://www.terrierwork.com/ He may find the vet will ask to see his shotgun certificate and permission letter. Nick

  8. What a great offer, well done. Maybe in the future I'll tag along with you, but just thought I'd say well done. Nick
  9. Hi The Control of Dogs Order 1992 states that any dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address (including postcode) of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag. Your telephone number is optional (but we would recommend this). You can be fined up to £5,000 if your dog does not wear an identification tag You do not have to put your dogs name on the tag, this is optional. Unfortunately dog stealing does occur and if the thief knows the name of your dog this may help them pass on the dog to the unsuspecting new owners because it appears they know
  10. Hello I have relocated from Dorset and am looking for anything in and around my area. I have 30 plus years experience shooting, wildfowling and stalking, I have bean a beater since my teens and have experience loading and picking up. I can supply references from several shoots if required. I have sorted some beating this season mid week, I am also available on Saturdays and would like to help out on a shoot more locally. I do not require payment in cash and would be willing to help out around the shoot off season in return for area to train dogs, ratting, ferreting or pigeon shooting onc
