hellyer189 93 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have read a few threads about people having had a dog that yapped. do you think it's down to the dogs frustration when chasing or down to the way it's been raised. And can they pick it up off a terrier who gives tounges when in the bushes ect? Quote Link to post

NEWKID 27,143 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I would'nt think any dog would be 90% wolf they've been dogs for thousands of years so not sure about any % of wolf to be honest. I think it's frustration I've seen dogs yap for the first couple of runs then once they've caught settle down and shut up. But I also think bad entering too early on hard runs won't help I've only let my pup have a couple of runs on the lamp on far out squatters and she's silent. She has opened up twice in the day when the terrier's put rabbits out ( with a load of yap) and she can't get to it, frustrated. Quote Link to post

poacher3161 1,766 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yapping can also be passed on to pups bred out of a dam that is prone to yapping. Quote Link to post

shushycatcher 219 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 my dog never ever opened.Then he had a bad injury and was off for quite a while,i got him back to what i thought was fit and went for a shine,first slip he opened because he couldnt catch,frustrated and not fit enough!! Took him straight home and got him properly fit,next time he caught the rabbit with ease and havnt heard a yap since Quote Link to post
Lennard 10 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yeah yapping sucks. It has been said on here often, is superimportant that the first kills are easy. Game seen, dog loose, game caught, dog praised very much or rewarded, dog leashed. That should happen a couple of times. You have to be on top of it when it misses and at least distract it from the second annoying thing next to yapping: hunting up out of control. My dog (5 years) gives a couple of yapps when he sees game for the first time in a long period but after the first kill it seems to realise that shutting up and stalking is better than only running and yapping.
