cooper101 86 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Now then cooper good to see you back on again its been a while. When you say started running clever on the rabbits what was the problem? i know ive been busy fishing and working but im back now!! your going to make me say it on a public forum lol !! basically right at the end of the season i would send him on rabbits and he would walk up on them and then go for them if they stayed!! if they went he would come back !! but if he saw anything else its was business as usual little arsehole !! so it only took 3 nights out at the end of the season for me to realise i best put him away for the summer and hope he forgets this little ENERGY SAVING trick hes learned!! he wasv a class act on rabbits only two nights before it happened i really dont know what happened!!! any advise???

stroller 341 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 not really mate he is a collie x and he is brighter than both of us take him out on a leash with another dog let the other dog catch but keep him in. then try him. the presence of another dog usually sparks the do or die attitude your looking for, but once he has learned this trick it might be hard to keep him from doing it in the future. it might be something you have to live with, he isnt lazy but knows his own limitations or maybe he just wants to drive you nuts Quote Link to post
