black recking it 730 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 good walk,s free running bit swimming and some do a bit of lure work Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ive been fancying a bit of lure with my Sal. He is only 10 mnths at moment, so hasnt done anything tidy as yet obviously! Shows potential and turns well. Loves to chase, (And be chased) So if anyone in my area uses one and dont mind a novice having a go, or fancies lettin Aladding tag along one day with their experienced dog, would appreciate it big time. Seen some good posts on here about Lures, look easy enough to make dont they? Quote Link to post
blackpack 70 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 do the same amount of walking but without chasing game really, i tend to go on the land where game is not up to much, also let them run loose, and a swim in the pond etc. Plenty of walking on the roads and bike work aswell Quote Link to post
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just general dossing around - nothing much. Try to go where there's not a lot going on and above all take it easy. Rest and recuperation should be the main aim in the quiet months. Quote Link to post

graham4877 1,181 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) just take mine out as normal n running around with springer's, she'll be in the rivers swimming, then take her for a few runs on the lure, only thing you have to watch for is the heat, so long walks tend to be shit hot 1st thing, or very last thing at night! and if rabbits are getting out of hand a few runs on lamp!
