bird 9,941 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 if your pup is ok with its training ( stay, recall) , right take it out with your lamp and bring its toy or ball it likes . Throw it ball just few feet 1st , and put the lamp (beam) on the ball where it is, make sure it as seen it then slip the dog, then call it back to you , it should come back to you if you trained it right. Next just throw it further this time 15-20yds , same thing call it back and keep this up till the dog (looks) down the beam. All this will help the dog to use beam, but when you slip it on live stuff (rabbit) it will be differnt as the dog will be very excited, and if it does get 1 it might piss off with it, just chill out with it . All this catching live stuff will come ok and bringing back when they calm down. 1st above getting it to use the beam keep at it . Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The easy answer is start when the dog is mature enough, each one is different, pick an ideal night, an ideal spot and an ideal rabbit, lamping isn't rocket science, ensure the dog sees the rabbits and slip, the rest is up to the dog and will come with experience, just ensure you are on the ball with your basic training such as recall and retrieve......... Oh and don't listen to Billy Big Balls down the road whos 10 month old pup was nailing 40 a night, give a pup confidence, let it thinks it on a winner, first seasons are about schooling a dog in my opinion, testing can come with maturity............

bird 9,941 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The dog thinks its a toy then and won't expect a rabbit to run like the pope down the shankol you got to get it to look down the beam (1st) , once the dog clicked with with the beam, then try it on couple easy rabbits, squatter the dog should go down the beam and take it from there . The catching part that will come as it runs more . the post was about learning lamping and thats what its got to look down the beam .? Quote Link to post
