Your dog is a bit young to be running after rabbits and thats why she is barking. Wait until she over a year as you should watch her growth plates as the are still very soft. Atb.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm no expert but it sounds like you have started it too early. It is barking out of frustration because it can't catch. When did you start the dog off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
