borris 12 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 As stated, she's stopped looking down the beam and when alerted she's got her head down a few yards out and missing the squatter at the other end of the beam. How can I get her looking in front again? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers. Borris. Quote Link to post
ciderbob 121 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 how old is she ? shorten your slip lead .. keep her head up when the lamp is on walk up to them squatters keeping her head up if shes not looking give the slip a shake and gee her up abit dont slip her untill shes seen the rabbit maybe if you can walk her right up to 1 or 2 make sure hes seen them but dont slip her keep the lamp on the rabbit . she should be pulling on the slip to chase it . if she is do the same on the next rabbit ( pulling and wanting to chase ) slip the dog Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Don't just hold the beam steady, give the beam a shake as if your trying to get the rabbit up Quote Link to post
