i stared my dog on dummie in day time till she was retrieving it to hand and then i went up green at night with lamp and dummie to teach he to go down beem and pic the dummie up witch she did after a few nights doing so..so i thinks if i shot a rabbit now she would got straight down beem and pic it up but gota get them going down beem at night and picking dummie up first hope this helps mate atb minzy.

not being funny in anyway but the best way for a dog to learn is to get it out lamping on its OWN after real rabbits. i find one man one dog is the best way no other dogs to rip your young dogs prized first rabbit straight out of its mouth, no other lads giving there opinions on everything the dog does wrong (and it will do alot wrong!!) so you can concentrate 100% on doing the best for the dog. they have alot against them in the first place and the last thing you need is a helping hand from an older dog to ruin it!!

I wouldn`t over complecate bringing on a pup.Train it from a pup to retreive and come back on command.Whilst out in the field a pup should be encouraged to chase.This will develop it`s prey drive.I`ve seen a lot of good quality dogs ruined by being over trained and ruining their prey drive.

What kind of person runs 2dogs on 1 rabbit neways?? so i agree with you mate if your bring on a pup with another dog you just let the pup watch y the older dog does its bit and then you slip your dog on a rabbit if you think its the right time and your pup seem's interested anuff... never slip 2 dogs on 1 rabbit....
