Lennard 10 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) 10 months is a difficult age. It is also old enough to be ruined for soft training. Once a dog has learned it can hunt up for itself you are in a nasty situation. A young dog that has a high prey drive should as much as possible be prevented from the opportunity to hunt up. My dogs do not see any game in front of them until they are say 2 years old and past their annoying phase. I do my utmost to make the first kill as easy as possible, so that there is no need to hunt up in excitement. The dog should kill and parade/rag with the kill before being leashed and very much praised. With a bit of luck this will become a routine. A smart dog will find out that you are looking for game it can't see itself. It will pay attention to what you are doing and stay around. L Edited April 23, 2011 by Lennard Quote Link to post
