IanB 0 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've cleaned up the thread.. Paul I'll sort you out with some info, when I'm back, you want to concentrate on his recall, retrieve and jumping at that age, leave the hunting till he's older... Quote Link to post

tommy.c 859 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 sounds like the we dog has had a rough life so far mate, my advice would be to take it very easy with it if your gona keep it outside then dont let it sleep inside for a start, it still only a baby try and spend as much time with it outside with plenty of play time maybe with a ball or something, and prase it plenty with a we treat, it will soon come round to you, i hope it works out for you and the we dog mate, ATB (tommy.c) 3 Quote Link to post
wild rover 548 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 As suggested mate, do all the basic training, recall, retrieve, sit, stay etc, let it enjoy being a pup, build a bond between you and it, stock break it, introduce it to ferrets, socialise it, traffic,kids etc, have a read of the attached letter for lamp training , if you intend to lamp it, good luck all the best WR STARTING_A_LAMPING_PUP.doc 2 Quote Link to post
