I had a the same problem with my old bitch. I limited her slips only slipping when I thought she would make the catch. I Thought this would help her to relate the lamp swithching of with coming back to me. Also I would walk her with a small torch and a dummy with a skin on it. I would get her to walk at my heel and chuck the dummy with the lamp on it. Then when she picked the dummy up torch off and make a massive fuss of her. (I found cheap sliced ham in my hand worked a treat). In not to long at all she was walking at my heal while lamping and returning as soon as the lamp went out.Atb.

Knock the lamp off and walk in the opposite direction. He'll soon realise he aint getting another race till he's learned to come back. The worst thing in my opinion is keeping the lamp on them when they are hunting up. Just my opininon and has worked for me in the past. Good luck
