earlystart 56 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 How do you know when your dog has had enough for one night,boby building and with most physical sports you have to go past the point of failure to gain more muscle, speed. So long as the dog is still catching do you let them keep going? Quote Link to post

troter58 1,711 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 if you can read the dog you will know when it is time to head home atb Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 thats something only a true lurcher man has an eye for. depends on your eye for your dog.and the type you have. it was easy with my old collie cross i just watched her slowing down a little.dropping a gear my bull x is a different story. she only slows down when she stops.one gear go spend time and bond well and you'll see it Quote Link to post

weasle 1,119 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Someone once said something to me a long the lines of - you should always try to go home with a run left in the dog. Sounds about right,but also think you should make hay while the sun shines,On a good night i dont mind pushing abit.But wouldn't keep going when its obvious the dogs had enough. Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Someone once said something to me a long the lines of - you should always try to go home with a run left in the dog. reminds me of an old boxing trainer. " never throw your last punch boy, you'll never know when you'll need it" a good piece of advice that 1 Quote Link to post
BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 its up to you if you are happy with the amount that you got already aint no harm in going home before the dog slows up too much but you should know when the dog takes longer and longer to gain after turning the rabbit and then missing greater numbers, always best to keep the dog winning Quote Link to post
