blacknight 111 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I'd also agree with Undisputed, it ain't a major fault in such a young dog and you should be able to get it right, the more he catches the more he will bring back. Casso's answer certainly sounds right too, though i've never seen it used. Hunting up can seem like a real pain when it happens, especially if you got a field full and need the dog back pronto for another run. As i said, in young dogs, it's usually over-keeness but it can become more difficult with dogs that have done plenty of daytime work before seeing a lamp. In the past i've bought on dogs like this and ended up tearing my hair out with 'em but they do get better. Thankfuly, these days, i've learned those lessons and my dogs, though they are out in the field from an early age, only start real work on the lamp. Once that is mastered, we go on to other things. Nice stamp of dog there too. very grateful cheers mate Quote Link to post

logan 447 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Its a bit harsh mate but try a shock collar in desperate times wat some people use on gun dogs. Quote Link to post
fcuktheban 140 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Call the pup back and if it ignores you turn off the light and walk away ignoring it, It will come to you eventually. I wouldn't praise it unless it comes back when called, treats in your pocket help. Quote Link to post
