hedz31 1,308 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 This isn't as hard as some would have you believe. Get out and shoot a rabbit. Firmly grasp the rabbit by the back legs. While stepping on your dogs lead beat the snot out of the dog with the rabbit until it seperates from the legs or the dog will no longer have anything to do with it. Then hunt the dog. You may every so often have to repeat the process to insure it's effectivenes... or you could just buy an e-collar.lol There is also a third option By wohleb12 at 2011-12-09 If i tried to beat the snot out of mine with a bunny they would just go crazy for grabbing the fecker's even more Quote Link to post

jawn 449 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 It seems strange that the bitch has only just started doing this if she has been working cover all her life. My terriers work cover all the time, but they never stop and mark a rabbit hole or try to get to ground on one. The only time they go to ground is on fox. Did someone inadvertently encourage her, by digging when she marked, thinking a cub or small vixen had dropped to ground in a rabbit warren? Or maybe another dog tried to get to ground on a rabbit when she was present, which would have encouraged her to do the same? Or did she actually manage to pull a rabbit out of a shallow hole after she'd run it to ground? The only thing I can suggest is to set her up: take her to somewhere you know only holds rabbits, let her mark, then tell her off. I do this with young pups: they get dragged out of the hole they're trying to get into, given a little shake (not a damaging bone rattling shake but enough to let them know it is the wrong thing to do), told 'No!" and sent on their way. As they grow bigger and older they soon learn that there's no point in trying to get at a rabbit they can't reach when there's plenty more game to be found on top. This is sound advice.. Some dogs will just shut down if you get stern with them too soon. Jagds are really bad about this. Doesn't seem to matter how hard the dog is either. Better to take your time and go about it the right way like Skycat says..If you do it right you will never have to assault your dog with a rabbit..LMAO Quote Link to post
