Brian-911 210 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Think you just need to knock that lamping in the head for a couple of weeks and go back to working on his recall 1 Quote Link to post
the night hunter 130 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 as brian said hes just taking the piss. back to basiscs then do it on the lamp dont chase the bunnies on the light until hes sorted. good luck. any probs after you done this let us know. Quote Link to post
sean/26 1 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 thanks guys he only dose this when hes out running rabbits but when hes running for a ball he brings it back or if he just out for a walk his recall is sopt on but when he misses a rabbit he takes the piss trying to find it rather than cuming back ready for the next run Quote Link to post
