Beam Watching

[Byson 0]

Im having a bit off trouble getting my 11month old dog to watch the beam whilst out lamping, sometimes it seems to watch then others it doesnt, its got numerous rabbits at day time and has had a few runs at night whilst out with another dog... any suggestions

give it more time and practice bud the more it dose the better it will get

I make a sound somthing like psst just before the lamp is flicked on then i change it to chuck chuck if a rabbit is in the beam.

 

Walk him up to a few squatters he will soon get the hang of it

cheers lads, when out during the day i always make a psst noise and the dogs ears are up and its running on ahead looking all around it for rabbits, think i need to take her out on her own more because i think there is too much goin on for her to concentrate

although iv never run a young dog im bringing on up the golf course i do use it to my advantage at times,nice short grass and a few sounds of encouragement to help the dog spot rabbits and get it looking down the beam dont take them long to pick it up when made easy for them

Lamp him on rabbits that he can see, i.e, not squatters and he will soon pick it up. But at 11 months old, i wouldn't be too worried.

Before you know it he will be taking those squatters like they're going out of fashion.Good luck.

 

This one never moved......

my bitch was the same she wouldnt run unless she saw a moving target, untill i put her on a squatter, she seemed unsure but crept up the beam and spotted it, still a little unsure she went nose to nose with it LITERALLY, then it flinched and she picked it up, now she will run the beam even if the rabbit sits in its seat
