plenty of easy runs at bunnys till she gets hang of turning an such like shes only a pup an learning make sure she gets easy kills

[Simoman 110]

Yep, ensure she has easy runs and perhaps go back to basics with the jumping training, aslo ensure she is physically fot and sound...........

[courseadog 231]

[steveweekes 2]

Some dogs don't have the knack when it comes to turning,some will adapt their running and turning style with experience in the field,the ground as a lot of bearing on the dogs ability to turn,as the dog matures and becomes more experienced it should settle down and you will probably see the improvements.

Rock the lamp!!! keeps the bunnys out for a few more turns...

the more she's out ,the greater her feel for the running habits of rabbits, all you can do is keep her at it and let her get a feel for them she'll develop a running sense for them, dogs gravitate to a system that works for them,,had a old bitch before rarely picked up a bunny out in the open space of a field but figured out how to work the hedge to her advantage,,

she'll come good given enough work,,best of luck with her

You said the dog is 1/4 bull and also has muscle on muscle, is she perhaps muscle bound from say to much walking? I've seen it in the past, a dog gets walked for miles everyday on the lead but has little running or lamping in comparisson and became to muscle bound to turn efficiently

[gnipper 6,412]

What kind of ground are you running the rabbits on?

[Moll. 1,770]

It may look physically fit but may have underlying problems. My lurcher dog stopped turning as tight as he normally would last season. Got him in with a fantastic bone man. His neck & Back were out in several places plus something wrong with his sciatic nerve. But too the naked eye you would never have known there was anything wrong with normal day to day and exercising, was just on his turns when lamping i noticed

overkeen for the catch perhaps? wants to get there as quick as possible and not working the gears as required? few easy catches under its belt and it might calm down and work the quarry abit better?
