Pup over-running training dummy

[hargreavesheber 93]

Now then folks,

 

Out with the pup tonight practicing with the lamp and rabbit skin dummy, she runs out well and always retrieves but almost always she runs past the dummy a few feet due to too much speed then turns round and picks it up for the retrieve. Is this common with a young dog? Will she learn with time or the real thing next season? Any advice welcome as it's my 1st lurcher. She's almost 6 months

 

Cheers

purdys progress is a good watch tho.

Cheers guys. I hope she learns in time. But maybe the real thing wil sharpen her up to over running the prey...

 

Been out on a walk this morning and she was marking a rabbit hole for the 1st time that i've seen, must have been something at home because my russells were marking too. Happy with her.

Hi mate, be carefull how much marking work you give her because this could affect her lamping. Your better off concentrating on the lamping first then day work when she`s a bit older,she`s still young yet and when she sees another dog work the lamp she will soon learn, Good luck mate.
