BrianSteven72 369 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 you dont say how many rabbits hes chased and not cought one yet ? I know for me im looking for my dog to be catching one of the first rabbits he chases if i dont think he can do it i wont run it too many runs without catching is a sure fire way of making a yapper especial with whippet and terrier blood in it ! Get it out on the lamp when there is a bit of wind take it to a field with longish grass about 5or6 inches and even better if its got a tight fence around it or a dry stone dyke so the rabbits have to find there runs out the field and not just exit the field anywhere the want , look for a rabbit that squatting and is well out, walk right up to it with the dog on a slip and dont slip the dog until the rabbit moves the rest is up to the dog , if you do all that it will give your dog the best possible chance of catching and with success hopefully the yapping will stop Quote Link to post
claudegreengrass1 2 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hes Been out two nights first night put him on two squatters which he didnt catch they turned on the ditch and got away he sounded off at them. Last night I put him on a squatter and the same happened, He caught the second squatter in the Ditch and didnt sound off.Didnt do anything ealse after that. Quote Link to post
BrianSteven72 369 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 well hopefully after hes cought a few and got a bit of confidence and knows he can do it and when its not all new and so exciting for him the yapping will stop ! 1 Quote Link to post
