when to slip??????

[jmw 0]

I've heard that when starting a dog lamping you should take it up to a sitter and wait till it runs before slipping the dog.my dogs had a couple of rabbits like this but was wondering if it would be a good idea to slip her before it runs since she knows its there in the hope of her taking it out the seat.thanks

yeah if she can see the rabbit and shes pulling slip by all means, unless you want to watch a course.

You can do this buddy, but some times, this has happen'd to me, you slip the dog because you think it has seen the rabbit but it walks right over it and its gone before the dog knew it was there. But it does work some times.

my dog did this at first but very rare now, and if she doesnt see it she will not leave where the end of beam lights up the grass untill shes found it.

Read this and try it, it works and prepares your lurcher for lamping.

slowly walk up to the sitter and get as close as possibleand with the bunny at your feet try let the dog take it whilst still on the slip, then you will know if the dog has spotted the bunny sometimes you will be able to take it with your hands

It all depends on the lenght off the grass your running your dog on.What l mean by that is if your lamping sheep fields the grass is very short so the shape or out line off the rabbit sits out more so there easy for the dog till see so yea can slip for about 8 9 metres away but if your lamping cow fields the out line off the rabbits does not sit out as good so yea have till walk the dog up closer.Thats why when am starting off a pup or a older dog that as not been on the lamp l stick till sheep fields till the dog picks it up.

if you are goimg to keep the dog on rabbits all the time then slip the dog before ,it will learn ,as it wont learn nothing on the lead ,but if you are going to run other stuff be prepared for the dog to make mistakes as the dog will start to look up for other quarry

dogs do not generally recognise the fact that there is indeed a sitter in front of them,i would walk the dog up and give the dog some encouragement that something is about to happen,if need be kick the rabbit up then slip the dog,once the dog learns to trust your instinct,even if it cannot see the sitter it will learn there is something in the beam,eventually the dog will learn to take them either in the seat or it will be ready should the rabbit bolt,this is only what i do.each to their own

Don't think you should be publisizing that on a forum,even if he is" man's best friend".
