colliexgreyhound 119 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 They can hear you walking down to them and usualy have fecked off by the time i get near them. Where as with a dog they can cover the ground alot quciker and get to the rabbits before they get into the hedges Quote Link to post
Lampalurcher 47 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'd say it sounds like you have ran her to hard or u have given her to many slips she had no chance off catching I did the very same thing to my dog thoroughly stupidity and by knowing any better just treat it like your starting a pup off from scratch only squatters and rabbits on the middle off fields until she is getting 3 out of 5 that should build her confidence then only slips within reason Quote Link to post

Mixed Bag 603 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 its a collie thing they are well known for it once the habit starts its very hard to stop cos the dog has it set in its mind what it thinks is worth trying to run and whats not. only thing you can do is give it lots of easy runs but at 4 yrs old its working style is not going to change much 2 Quote Link to post
