Why would any one want to stop there dog mid course

If you slip the dog you should know the land your working

So I can't see any reason anyone would stop there

Dog mid run

 

Well, you might want to try if your dog is coursing towards a train line, main road or perhaps a small pet dog or cat.............it has been known to happen.

 

Thats happened to me before and at the time i wish i could call him off, fortunately he missed the train by about 30 secs

You can train half collie crosses to stop befor the course gets going properly ,which isnt a bad thing considering what they are generaly used for.But a coursing dog you would have no chance,if you could it wouldnt be worth a carrot! Imagine you was running a match and one of the other side had a whistle !!!

No chance it could be handy, a friend of mine has a 8 month old pup which he can stop and it returns straight away but its not killing yet, I wonder if he will get the same result when its nobbled a few I doubt it atb nasher

If a dog can be stopped in mid flight, then either 1 the owner is a great trainer of dogs or 2 the dogs heart is not in it in the first place.

The makeup of the dog is a major factor there is no doubting that, I would hazard a guess that the people saying their able to stop their dogs mid flight have collie or some other strong baseline saturated dogs. Give the same men a pure sighthound or a mix of sighthounds and see how they fare, not so well I wouldn't think.

I can tell if theres anything about and what it is by my dogs behaviour. If they walk quickly with their noses to the ground, checking each bush i know its rabbits. If there franticly casting about i know its deer. I also know at that point i have about 10 seconds to get them to me and the leads on otherwise there WILL be a dead dear for me to pretend i know nothing about! Lol! If i shout loud enough AND walk quickly away from the area they DO follow me. Then the leads go on and i get them out of the area. If the deer gets up and runs it gets taken down, simples. I cant stop them once there sighted. If it keeps its head down, which they usually do (AND im on the ball) i always manage to get the leads on in time.

 

If its rabbits i am more likely to encourage them. Theres not many hares where i walk my lot so there easily avoided. Same with foxes, you see um at night but the dogs are on slip then anyway so all i have to do is not let go of the lead.

i seen a dog being stopped going down the beam at a squatter which the dog had past an it stopped dead an returned scanning the ground an killed it.....an iv seen it doing it more than once

 

Stopping a dog walking down the beam is no comparison to stopping a dog mid flight.
