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

what macker says does seem to make sense . i think it would be worth a try .anythings better than the bullet which some people seem to think is the only way.

did you rest it for a bit when it first did it ??? did anything stop it from yapping ?

I had a dog a few yrs back, collie grey x DHound. As a sapling she would start to give voice if she was slipped and didnt catch quickly. My advice for what its worth is TRY what i did(it worked)

if you can take her out with another quiet dog, DONT BE TEMPTED TO RUN HER. Let her watch as the other dog runs, every whimper or yap give her a solid tug on the lead and a sturn NO in her ear. Do this both day and night as well as in her play time(you do let your dog have play time?)Dont be too keen to slip her on everything that moves,be patient with her and im sure she will come good for you.At 11mths she is just a babe, treat her like one good luck :thumbs-up:

( now watch all those who have had deer killing dogs of 6mths tell you im talking s*!t. it worked for me. be patient)

my mate has a dog that yaps its a collie greyhound it only yaps when the rabbit turns her or is close to cover wudent worry about it too much

[Guest JOEB]

Fitness good?..............also, make no mistake, bunnys can be no mean test for a dog sometimes.........maybe start it with another dog on something a bit.........larger & easier to grab?

Give it a few runs at this sort of stuff before you show it any Bunnys again........

Only problem is, it can make them a bit heavy mouthed...........

Just make sure your in Eire when you do it.......

i suppose for those of us who dont have the time for, or an understanding of such probs then a bullit in the head is proberbly the only option. not the right option but sadly a view that is held by to many PROPER LURCHERMEN. Still i suppose it is better to be seen as being a hard nosed dog man than a man with a open mind :realmad:

alright mate some of the info you have been told is sound and some bad. the best thing in my opinon would go back to basics. leave him of work for a few weeks work on his fittness then try him on ferrted rabbits. net the holes when one hits it slip him in you may ruin a net or 2 but they can be replaced onece he has had a week a 2 at this do the samething but leave the net peg losose and when a rabbit bolts hopefuly they come away from the hole still netted slightly slip the dog on them this should give him confedence after that if all is well drop a few for him i know droping rabbits for a dog may seem wrong to some of pureist out there but it is about building confedence in the dog if al goes well try him back on the lamp agian. if you are worryed about trying him back on the lamp drop few rabbits first. no long slips and do not run him with any older dogs if he sees rabbits getting away because you sliped him to far he could yap. and if the older dog catches the rabbit that will knock his confedence. but you must work on fittness first i hope this will help this is my opnion i hope it works good luck with him

if theres anything i can be sure of there wont be any bullets flying.

[Guest freestate hunter cfc]

as macker said the dog is bursting with energy and needs to settle down or it could be frustration its a young dog still time for the yeeping to come out of it,if its filling the pot who gives a f**k.

[Guest stella]

how old was the dog when you started it on rabbits

[Guest young lampers]

Like some have said leave him off them for a bit and get him some easy ones to run to build up confidence..

cheers..
