Any Advice welcomed :)

Hellooo all

Just looking for some advice with my 1yr old lurcher, I know its coming up to the end of the season but this is basically what I want to know;

 

Is there any training I should do with her while out of season?, she just runs at the rabbits obviously they have seen her by that point but anything that I can do to make her more "sneaky" lol

 

How can I stop her from thinking my ferret are another dog she can play with? she's been bitten by them but that makes her think they are playing more :S

 

And where can I find a good template for a permission letter, should I have anything like insurance I wasn't sure cos I know you have to have insurance for shooting but I wasn't sure about dogs or ferrets?

 

Thanks XD

Just keep up with basic obedience during the summer,the pup will only learn to become "sneaky" run clever with experience.As for the ferrets when she becomes too rough give her a sharp NO and maybe a wee clip over the backside

Would say the same as roxy! Make sure her general obedience is 1st class also keep working on simple things like retrieving and stock breaking so that when it comes the new season everythings spot on all that needs to come is expeirance and maturity, aknow it can be a pain when a pup just wants to carry on in the field with ferrets other dogs etc but just have some patience mate she will learn with maturity that ferrets are for working not playing! Hope she makes you proud!

Don't worry about her catching rabbits.

 

You haven't stated about her obedience. If this isn't to a satisfactory level, then during the summer months work on this. I.e recall and retrieve.

 

Never rush.

 

There's plenty post's touching this subject in the search box.

shes very good at obedience she learnt very fast and shes just getting the idea of retrieving my parents are quite surprised lol shes not the brightest at times XD

She did catch a pigeon yesterday in mid-flight lol, it was like in slow motion

Just had her out with the ferrets and she didnt seem that interested XD she only seems to want to play with my half angora now lol

I saw this permission template on another site, I think the guy who originally put it up may come on here - if so you know who you are and thanks
