toby63 1,236 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 on slip him on rabbits that you think hes got a good chance of catching ie. Middle of the fields not close to hedges and get as close as possible be for you slip. Quote Link to post

DaraFehilly 0 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 hes a whippetxcolliehound and no injurys.. i was thinking a bark coller but that might turn him off chasing completely Quote Link to post
lamping-lad 160 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 hes a whippetxcolliehound and no injurys.. i was thinking a bark coller but that might turn him off chasing completely dont put a bark coller on him mate, just give him a few easy runs, i think they bark out of fustration.

pip1968 2,490 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 my dog lets out a bark or growl when the rabbit gets to the hedge but doesnt do it when chasing Quote Link to post
old school 531 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 after a season it might leave... the beddy cross i have did that at the start too!! not so much now, i never really saw a problem with it anyway, why does it bother people?? Quote Link to post
bryson 562 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 if it carries on mate the dog can open up for the full chase so if your lamping its not really ideal Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Pack in for this season and give him easy easy runs.if you've got a yapper its the devils own job to cure... Agreed, leave the dog be while harvest time, then try it on some easy rabbits, buster. Quote Link to post
fay 75 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 give it easy runs and dont slip on rabbits miles out and to close to the ditch try get up or around them to run them off there burrow be patient and wait if not dont blame the dog for it where you from ? Quote Link to post
woz 260 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 If you want to gamble and ruin the dog keep running it.....BE PATIENT A STOP WORKING HIM.....I know your dog isn't....but when we train malios if it does something three times its a learnt behavior..........iv made many mistakes training dogs and impatients was my worst trait.......
