Guest vin Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 focus on the main event mate...she caught one ! get her out watching an older experienced dog. good luck Quote Link to post
fresh earth 47 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Did you have any other dogs out ? seen a few of my mates dogs do the same because there was another dog there. Quote Link to post
Mick C. 229 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Bit possessive,should get better once the dog is fully familiarised with the real thing Saluki crosses can sometimes do this- mine did. I tried the walk away approach-did help a bit Then i tried the crouch down in the field and dont keep calling it approach.This method seemed to work better for me. Dont worry stick to the training and as the dog matures it should start to bring them closer and closer in Whatever you do stay calm Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 f****n feed the thing mate, if you bring your dog up about game they soon learn not to eat there game ,give it rabbit dummies , sound slike it needs worked more and under control so it doesnt eat rabbit some dogs do, some once caut fetch it and thats therre bit done ,if your got another dog about it can get the pup jealous etc best way is to try him on his own once caut, run shout name heel run to you if you have made the bond get the rabbit quick of him plenty of praise then again he will soon learn fetch back Quote Link to post
Paid 935 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Well done on the first catch, and dont worry about the eating it part, the pup will soon grow out of it. Mine ate his second one, then never again, he retrived the first, live to hand. He then started air humping above his catches, the strange beast, but grew out of that after a few months.

doris 6 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 10 months still a puppy mate. .. . in my opinion you may be starting her to early. Maybe leave till next season and continue with obedience, and retrieving till then. Good luck with her. Quote Link to post
Paid 935 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I disagree, I would get her out on more,now she is catching, finnish this season off, but obviously don't over run her. Quote Link to post
HAMMERDAN 25 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Only a pup yet mate, train her more over the closed season, il be lucky if my pup gets out next season, patience and maturity will see her right. Quote Link to post
