to jump or not

[dytkos 17,804]

Start 'em off small and build up so that they're ready for 2 strand barb at 12 months.

 

Generally, I only want mine to jump fences etc at night if I can keep the lamp on the quarry,

otherwise, most times it's pontless

 

Day time, I expect them to go through, over, round, - the quickest way they can,

which in mid-stride is usually over

 

Cheers, D.

how do you stop a dog jumping!? iv never encouraged her to jump but mine has started clearing everything whilst out, she had a few mishaps at the 5/6month mark, got her leg stuck in a 5bar gate she decided to try n jump, stuck in a railed fence too and more recently hooked herself on a double BW fence. she seems to have learnt and is jumping well clear of everything now. i kinda hope she doesnt jump whilst lamping(chasing) but at the same time if she can and does what could be done?

a question mate, with the greatest respect...............would your dog have hurt herself as much if you'd taught her to jump ?

 

i do to be honest as they were something she could well have done if id tried her jumping a 5bar at 5/6month.the more recent one was an old stretch of BW fencing behind a new fence, the only posts left standing and she found them. that was a few weeks ago and since then she throws herself well over most fence/gates. now she wants to/can jump i encourage her.

only time let my dog jump if i am lamping from the road if i lamping and the rabbit goes in to the next field my lamp will be off dog back to my feet not jumping into the next field hunting up still have rabbit in this field do that field in a bit rabbits will still be there one field at a time

 

most ov the time if my dog is right on a rabbit go to a fence it well knock it of its run

i agree with this jumping into a field on the lamp creates two problems the first how do u now whats in that field presently and it is very difficult to lamp the other field from the point u started the dog unless youre on the move with the lamp which ive never seen done fair enough walking on to a clapper but not while the course is on going

 

Personally I do a fair bit of running about with the lamp, to keep the rabbit lit up when it runs through dips in the field or behind rises in the ground.

had to take of mate

[gibbo1973 187]

a dog should jump when out walking or in the field if it has brains it ll make its mind up ,but confidence is a must when starting a dog off little and often same place day in day out then move to new ground similiar height,then step by step increase the height and also varied ground to jump then it'll all come in to place ,6 ft @6 months etc asking for bother

patience please then all will be rewarded

yes wire is dangerous but they know when fully trained and all have different styles
