I admire a man and dog that can TRULY work without a slip ! :thumbs: I was out last night, local, just me and two of the dogs. I worked them individualy, from the slip on the way out; but on the way back I had them off the slip. They stay within 5' to10' of me, and looked down the beam.... until there is something in the beam, and then they are OFF !! LOL !! So I wouldn't consider that "working without a slip" ! but as I say, well done to those who can TRULY work a dog without a slip !! :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

cant see any real benifit to doing it if i am honest..... even more so when there is a forbidden quarry at the end of the beam :D

 

If youve put the time into teaching your dog what expected you should have any trouble with "forbidden quarry" mate.

 

Chart i used to be able to run my collie lurcher in the company of another dog but if a hare was being run and it came towards us he'd pick it up more often than not. Wouldnt work 2 dogs of the slip now though. Singlehanded only for me.

 

All the best.

just a question for you lads who work of slip while lamping ..if a rabbit bolts lets say 15 yards of you while you are walking and your dog hears it would it go for the bunny...

depends if the batteries in its hearing aid were ok or not :whistling:
