running dog 0 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 just wondered if any of you people could give me some advice,im pretty new to hunting and recently got my first lurcher.He is a saluki /greyhound x collie/ greyhound and 11month old everything was great until 2 nights ago on the lamp id slipped him once and he caught ,2nd slip and he let out a little yap ,was a bit shocked and thought maybe he had hurt himself so i didnt run him again. any how i went out again today and he started barking as he was chasing the rabbit.NOT HAPPY. I have heard people say that the dogs can get frustrated at this young age but i dont think this is the case as he as had 20 or so rabbits and never made a noise before !! i dont think i am over working him as he only gets 2 or no more than 3 slips when i take him out. YOUR HELP AND ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED ....... Quote Link to post

YOUR HELP AND ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED ....... firtsly mate, i wouldnt take him out to "watch" another dog run. this serves no purpose at all. Does he yap in the daytime?. Does he yap during the run, or when the rabbit is next to cover?. personally i would just give him a couple of weeks off, maybe bolt a few with the ferret to see what he's like in the daytime. But, sometimes, they never stop. Unfortunately, its mostly down to the dog, and not you. Hope things come good. Quote Link to post

Stabs 3 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Could try a training collar not the shock type but the sonic ones he will soon get the message But that message could all so easily be "don't chase rabbits" Quote Link to post

FastDogz 155 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Chilli !!! Dont shoot him! Have no idea how to get it out of the yapping...But im sure it can be done Quote Link to post

Guest stantheman Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 give the dog atleast 2 weeks of the bunnys, then only let him go on realy easy slips ,sounds as though you/v got a yapper, all right if you got the rights to go on the land. Stan. Quote Link to post
macker 5 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 the odd yap when the dog is turning can be some times caused when the dog is just too fresh if it was me i would leave him off for a few weeks. some times works especialy if he is sore when turnig. if that does not work hunt the feck out of the dog and try take the freshness out of him. used to have a dog that was like this and i used to to give him a couple of very long slips at the start until he settled down. although he had to be lamped twice a week to keep the yapping away so to speak. hope this might help you a bit. hard to give a reply for us when we havent seen the dog run. all the best macker Quote Link to post
